What does a Private Investigator do for a living?

I received an interesting e-mail today from a journalist connected with the local newspaper.

She rather nicely told me she is very interested in what I do, and went on to ask if she could interview me to explain what I do.

Now that's fine, I will contact her and listen to what she has to ask and respond as deem appropriate.

However, this question intrigues many, I imagine that is why she wants to write a story. Unfortunately, it also intrigues those wishing to qualify as Investigator's through my PPP funded courses and that is troublesome. If you want to enter this industry and you don't really know what it is about, then are your really serious? I think not.

If you want me to divulge years worth of expensively self funded knowledge without having first made the most basic of enquiries - Google??? then you should consider another trainer or another career for this is not really for you.

Please, if you are considering a career in this industry then use the investigative side of your brain and INVESTIGATE the business.

That raises another issue, it is a business, like any other we are here to make money so expect to pay for my 30 years of knowledge, but do not come to me on a fully funded course and expect me to give you all the answers and employ you to boot. True, I am a trainer and will help you, but I will not employ someone who has seen Magnum PI once too often and can visualise themselves in a Rosso red Ferrari but cannot explain the blodd,sweat and tears that paid for it.

Do your homework, it isn't hard, the work you will be asked to perform is substantially more difficult, but you need to know what we do before you come to me and invest so much of your time and the patience of your JSA.

If you want to undertake the PI course, you will be required to complete several computer generated reports and take verbal and written statements to a set standard. Ensure you have the ability to do this before you take on the workload of the course.

Ask me your questions at investigations@drmgroup.com.au or call me on 07 41230795 and I will give you a helping hand - free and without obligation. Remember, I guarantee you will pass with my help or your money back -as long as it is your money.

Think Long & Prosper
