Im a 25 yr old guy with a degree in economics(doesn't really seem to do much for me). I've had some shitty jobs since graduating a couple years ago(claims adjuster, data entry in an office). I can't seem to find anything decent. Should I take a bank teller job and try to move up in the company to maybe a credit analyst or loan officer?
Should I take a bank teller job?Banks are a good place to start a career. Be aware that most large banks are moving towards a more sales-focused operations, which means that even tellers are expected to contribute to the branch's sales goals through product referrals. By starting in a teller role, you usually have a few different routes you can pursue, with the two main routes into either operations or sales. At the company I work with, tellers can be promoted into either an Operations Supervisor or Personal Financial Representative (sales) role. To move higher in branch banking, such as to an Asst Mgr or Manager position, you would need to establish a good track record in sales. Also keep in mind a realistic timeline for advancement. Just starting out, I would expect to remain in the teller role for AT MINIMUM one year before being ready/eligible for promotion or transfer. If you are not comfortable with sales, you may want to look for a position with a credit union. The operational aspects of the jobs are equivalent to those within a traditional bank, but credit unions are usually more focused on member service rather than sales (although it does depend on the credit union).
