Awesome video when I moved to GA I was a waitress at a Japanese restaurant I waited on the bank president vp and some managers. They were impressed and offered me an interview that day!
Girl, this is too funny! I was just talking with someone today about how the banking industry has changed! I started working for BB&T in 1982 and left in 2010. I'm glad that I don't have to deal with the selling game anymore!
Thank you for doing these videos. I just got a job as a teller and I start at my branch with a mentor on Monday. I would love any more tips on things you really should know and do as a bank teller. Subscribed!!!!
Thank you for mentioning SECU! We don't require sales from employees at all. We have recently been trying to implement a referral program on the teller line.
I'm new to this channel and madame you earned yourself a subscriber, I have an interview with citibank and I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel for helping me find a job especially In the banking industry.
@@MelissaFreeman I've even read up on some random person talking about your accent, I even laughed at the comment lmao. I thought to myself, this lovely lady is doing her part in helping people going into the banking industry, like grow up lol. Plus on the other note your accent is fantastic as well so you keep being you and never let those brainless peeps ever bring you down girl!!
Tier harribel lol thank you! Yes, I do get that from time to time but I can’t change my accent for a UA-cam video 😆 I mean I could try but I’m sure I’d be bad at it!! People are silly but thank you!
@@MelissaFreeman hey my interview today was honestly fantastic, I have high confidence I'll get the job since the interviewing manager took a liking to me and what I had to present to her
Great video ☺️ I’ve thought about trying to apply to be a teller before. I knew my customer care background could apply but I was surprised to hear about the sales aspect.
I got my job and interview, after inquiring with the location in persons several times. Comes to find out they already had my application pulled to the side . 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽 GLAD, I WAS PERSISTENT WITH LETTING THEM KNOW I WAS INTERESTED
thanks for all your information it's very very well done.. I'm having a phone interview tomorrow i hope it goes well.. I've never worked in a bank I'm kinda nervous.. it's a credit union 🤔 ty for all you do.
I recently added some teal streaks to my hair. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on them and have been excited about trying other colors now that I’m going gray. Will I hurt myself in the interview, if I leave the color in? Will I never be able to change my hair color again, if I get the teller position?
When you go into banks or see bankers around your area do any of them ever have any colors in their hair? That may be a good indicator. Here where I am it is not usually allowed but some subtle colors might be just fine.
@ Thank you. I will go visit a few branches and take note of how they dress. I haven’t noticed anyone with colorful hair the few times I’ve gone, though.
I would love to see your resignation letter samples! Since you had so much teller experience, did you ever get to head teller or teller supervisor status?
I really need your help rn ! I have a video screen interview ! I’m not sure if I have to record myself like showing my face or just record my voice ! Do I have to dress up ? The email says I will record my answers and make any changes if needed . An interview question will pop up on my screen and I have to respond back to it .
Melissa Freeman how can I ensure a drawer is balanced for Ingles Market . It’s been a few years since I’ve worked for them so I don’t know or have no clue how to respond to that 😩😩😩 what do you suggest could be a good response ? I know you don’t work for ingles but any suggestions?
Do bank managers usually recruit people? I work at a very busy gas station and I had a manager give me his card and tell me the executive seen me work and really loved my costumer service.
On average what does a weekly/monthly sales goal look like for a bank teller? Would you go more in depth on sale goals being met, how often they are raised and how a teller would best deal with a slow sales period? Also scheduling, is there morning/afternoon positions as a teller or strictly 8hr work days? is it flexible scheduling for someone with a second morning job who wants to gradually transition into a teller role?
Also wanted to mention these are great videos! I’ve always wanted to work in the bank and these gave great insight on what it’s really like, thank you!
You actually will rarely be allowed to have a second job when working for a bank as it could cause a conflict of interest. Banking hours are only 9-5 or 6 so there are no “shift but you could work part time and you maybe coke in at different times each day you’re needed (between 8-5 of course) sales goals will depend on your position with the bank. Example: a teller that has been thee edit 3 months may be expected to get 20 people per week to open a new account. That will also depend on how busy your specific branch is.
I'd like to apply for one American Credit Union close to me, but I'm a senior at a HS. However, I'll be graduating on January 22nd, is it ok if I call to the bank and tell them that I want to work with them and have interviews but work until I have my HS diploma? Or should I wait? They're hiring right now.
Hello :) thank you for your videos, they been helpful! I’ve done more research and tried asking for help but so far no one has been able to answer my question. I’ve job hopped a lot during high school within the same year that it wouldn’t look good on my resume and I learned that banks take that serious from candidates. Do you have an advice I could or should do? Thank you!
Hello! I just got a job at a bank and I will be starting college in spring. Due to your multiple years of experience have you had co-worker who take college class and how did it go for them?
I just applied for a Financial Relationship Associate for a Regions bank and I just wanted to ask if you have any tips or any information, from you point of view, about the job position.
I’m hearing impaired, how much of an issue do you think this would be? I currently work at Starbucks and am able to hear and converse with customers and co workers an okay bit
I'm hearing impaired too, I worked in banking for 10 plus years. if you can work at Starbucks banking is nothing!!!! Starbucks environment is much more difficult to work in if you are hearing impaired...
Thank you for doing this videos! I have a second interview coming up but my problem is I moved to America one year ago and I don’t have any credit score. Can you tell me please, What should I do ?
stephon covington if you’re have questions written down to ask so that you don’t forget anything then that is perfectly fine 🙂 But nothing more because you don’t have the job yetb
Oh lol! Yeah sometimes there is traveling involved. Especially if you’re good at the job they will ask you to go help at other branches but it should always be within your region. But if your hub is out of state you may be ask to go their for training. They will pay for your room and all though.
Tank tops and sleeveless shirts aren’t usually allowed so you should be safe. If it’s just the bottom of the arm shoring they will be up to the hiring manager. hope for a young one!!
@@MelissaFreeman So, I finished the interview it went pretty good. She told me that they will call me back in 1 week to discuss everything. She also said from the sound of things they will more and likely hire me. 😬😬 I’m so excited 😆 the next part is the in person and they also let me choose my top two locations I’d like to work at which was nice
snz crr I’m still thinking about this position, I’m not sure that I’m ready, my first language is Russian, but I have MD in Banking, so maybe it will help me😊

thanks for all your information it's very very well done.. I'm having a phone interview tomorrow i hope it goes well.. I've never worked in a bank I'm kinda nervous.. it's a credit union 🤔 ty for all you do.
So a credit union and a bank are actually different!
@@MelissaFreeman yes credit unions are basically credit..very little cash on hand I know nothing of each but I'm working on it.. ty
I am interviewing tomorrow with B of A. Your videos are helpful. Thank you!

No, I mined straight to a Personal Banker 2. But still worked in the line as well. You can’t work in the office and also be the teller supervisor
@@MelissaFreeman personal banker is when you sit down with clients and open new accounts, troubleshoot problems, and go over things with clients?
Just to name a few, yes. You also do personal loans, estates, IOLTS etc
I really need your help rn ! I have a video screen interview ! I’m not sure if I have to record myself like showing my face or just record my voice ! Do I have to dress up ? The email says I will record my answers and make any changes if needed . An interview question will pop up on my screen and I have to respond back to it .

I got a second interview with us bank, is that a good thing or bad ? What do you advise me

Melissa Freeman gracias
I just applied for a Financial Relationship Associate for a Regions bank and I just wanted to ask if you have any tips or any information, from you point of view, about the job position.
Ariel each bank has different titles for different positions. What are that person’s responsibilities?
I’m hearing impaired, how much of an issue do you think this would be? I currently work at Starbucks and am able to hear and converse with customers and co workers an okay bit
Carson Hickox you should be fine! We had a lady that was hearing impaired at one of our offices :)
I'm hearing impaired too, I worked in banking for 10 plus years. if you can work at Starbucks banking is nothing!!!! Starbucks environment is much more difficult to work in if you are hearing impaired...
Thank you for doing this videos! I have a second interview coming up but my problem is I moved to America one year ago and I don’t have any credit score. Can you tell me please, What should I do ?
Yes having no credit score is okay. You just cannot gave a bad one or any accounts that you’ve had charged off and owe money against
Melissa Freeman thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the video. It's VERY helpful. ♥️🙏

???
@@MelissaFreeman because I wouldn’t be able to. Lol

What about sleeve tattoos?

Best of luck on Thursday

Thanks for the video.
Great tips
Should I bring a notebook with me to my interview?
If you want to take notes you can but definitely take them on paper and not your phone!
Melissa Freeman thank you! And thank you for your videos! I have an interview tomorrow and am very nervous but your videos have helped tremendously!
Good luck!!!
that's not entirely true about the credit cuz my shit is all FUCKED up and I got hired as teller at wells fargo...
I have been part of the hiring process and yes it is. Maybe you got lucky. But I will notate this for never banking at Wells 🤣
I wish they would not high pressure tellers to sell.
Rebecca W yeah every teller wishes for that! It’s part of the job though! Otherwise they would 15+ an hour though 🤷🏼♀️
Getting hired as a bank teller isn’t difficult lol.
Im glad your experience has been different than 97% of everyone else! Happy Sunday
You’re not even answering the questions they are asking you!!!
It’s all in the first video dear! Thank you for watching
During this video, Melissa, were you wearing pants?
Wtf kind of creepy ass question is that?
These tips are the most obvious thing ever lol. Your accent is so thick grating and really hard to listen to hun.
