Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Did well in high school. Didn't know what I was going to grow up to be.
Interested in music, went to college for it. Later decided it was a passion, not a career.
Moved up the retail ladder quickly from sales associate to store manager.
Discovered I'm a good manager and can handle customers, especially the difficult ones.
Started a family and wanted to change my retail hours.
Used my skills with customer service and now reapply them in a retail bank setting.

Day to Day
A great day would be helping a new customer set up their new account(s), and show them how to use every benefit of the product they are getting. Walk them through any questions they have including using their debit card, showing them how to bank online, and getting them comfortable using their new bank.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Get comfortable speaking to strangers. Be able to feel their vibe and adjust your own vibe to meet with theirs. This will allow you to relate best with someone you don't know.
