Review loans booked by the company to see if they are helping the communities they serve.
I go into my home office and check / respond to email. I then go into our BBE system which contains the loans, grants and volunteer services that need reviewed. I typically second level / finalize others activities that they have reviewed and make any corrections necessary prior to finalizing them. I do a lot of organizing, planning and coordinating to ensure all 10 team members are actively engaged and am continually checking the workload to ensure it is spread evenly across the team.

Computer skills and writing are essential. I also took transcription classes where I learned how to type what others are saying, this has allowed me to take good notes in meetings which is how I got my first banking job as a secretary to the CEO. I was able to learn how to deal with Senior Management in this valuable position, which opened up many doors to my career.
