It seems like every Bank requires previous experience fromTheir
prospective applicants. If no bank will hire anybody with no experience,
where do Young employees obtain that required banking experience in the
first place?
How would any employee starting Out in the banking sector Get any banking experience If every Bank requires them to have previous experience?
Frequently many of them move over from retail for the cash handling experience.
Undergrads majoring in business, accounting, finance, and economics might have internship opportunities in the back office.
I personally came from retail management and real estate.
Keep in mind that if the post says about a yr for experience, that's actually more of a preferred than a requirement. You may have to mark something that you have the yr exp to get through the system filter, but the hiring manager may not care about the yr if they like you.
Ex: i was brought in by a recruiter. I didn't have a full yr of actual sales experience at the time, but she thought I'd be a good fit. She told me what to put to get through the system filter, & I clarified that with the manager, who was down with it & ended up hiring me.
Edit: actually, the post might have said 2yrs now that I think about it. Either way, if you're off by only a yr or 2, you could still have a chance.
I mean we are so desperate for help we took down all the normal advertisements and put up now hiring ones. I think the higher ups are realizing we want better pay.
I worked at a pizza place and moved to manager for a year and then worked front desk for a hotel/rental company before I applied at the bank I'm at now.
They mostly look for cash handling experience. Though if it's a higher position they likely do require some banking experience at a lower level.
Try to apply at a reputable credit union. They will more than likely hire teller positions with no experience. As long as you know how to use a phone and a computer, they should provide adequate training. Plus you'll probably enjoy the job better than a large national bank.
