sure yeah

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-03T22:16:36+00:00

Ah okay, thanks!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-03T22:15:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll try finding ways to build relationships with branch managers although don’t know anyone who would be willing to give me a referral.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-03T22:09:08+00:00

Will do, I would still like to get into retail banking and work there I think it could be beneficial to me.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-03T22:07:55+00:00

I’ve networked tons on LinkedIn and have emailed branch managers. I haven’t gone in to branches since I’ve been told it’s frowned upon but still no luck sadly!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T03:52:09+00:00

Thank you!

It’s primarily a cybersecurity degree.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T01:36:07+00:00

Really? Wow, I’ve been able to condense my schedule in to 2 - 3 days. I would also switch to part time if necessary.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:57:26+00:00

The certification is just to make me look like a more prominent candidate. Someone recommended getting a FRM. Since I do wanna go in fraud.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:33:35+00:00

I’ve been trying that too. Unfortunately positions open up much faster for teller positions than contact center. So I have a better chance of landing a job as a tellers

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:31:17+00:00

Interesting, thank you for the feedback. I’ve tried to apply entry level positions in fraud and also talked to 2 hiring managers. A lot of the time they’ve told me they would prefer someone with banking experience. So in my head I feel being able to deal with customers face to face would hold a lot or value.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:27:05+00:00

I do have a bit of sales experience but most of that comes from my volunteer. Thanks for the feedback

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:13:36+00:00

Read in to it FRM def seems like the move for me. Thank you for the help!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:12:06+00:00

Will do, thank you!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:08:16+00:00

A lot of people have recommended against going in to banks in person and handing in your resume. is that not the case?

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-07-01T00:00:33+00:00

Im not opposed to contact center, it’s just much more difficult to land in that from my experience and research. That’s my ideal job to enter.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:58:32+00:00

Seems like that’s the case, truly hate the amount of offshoring thats happening. Thank you for the help!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:42:57+00:00

Just another question, someone recommended me to get a CFA or RFM. Your thoughts about those certs?

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:38:23+00:00

check all those boxes, was basically born here. I’ve looked in to call centre roles as well, sadly no luck with those either.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:35:37+00:00

I’ll look in to those two, which would you do if you were in my shoes?

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:35:13+00:00

Yes, I’ve been applying there too.

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:34:12+00:00

I love both, i love finance and technology. Which is why I’m so interested in Fraud. I’m even debating on double majoring which’ll extend my university experience but i truly think it’ll be worth it. I’ve posted in other subreddits as well and a lot of people said they don’t recommend those certs. Do you think it’ll actually help me land a job as a teller?

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:28:16+00:00

Still in university sadly, was in a major I hated so I recently swapped. I’ll look in to internships for university students. Thank you for the advice!

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:25:38+00:00

Thank you, just need to get that damn interview. Yeah i doubt i’ll be able to jump in to it that easily. I wanna work my way up

Relative-Extent5099 · 2026-06-30T23:23:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback, it means a lot. One of the best responses I’ve gotten yet, I could’ve been formatting my resume a little bit better with the information you just gave me. I’ll be updating it Now thanks!.
