Security bosses have advertised for \u00a339,000-a-year \u00adsurveillance officers who won\u2019t stand out in a crowd. So lanky men and women need not apply. And anyone with eye-catching tattoos will also be turned down.<\/p>\n

"Being able to blend into the background of whatever environment you\u2019re in is of paramount importance. You\u2019ll need to observe people and places, and put your safety and those of your colleagues first at all times."<\/p>\n
