Bank cashier job description When you think of banks what do you think of? The bank manager telling you off for spending too much? If youve got a chatty personality you may not have even considered working in that environment right? Well it's time to re-consider. If youre friendly, professional, methodical and trustworthy, then a career as a bank cashier awaits.

So, what will I actually be doing? Bank cashiers are the first point of contact for anyone coming into the bank, so its a very customer-focused and sales-based role. Like to chat? This is the job for you. As well as helping customers with their cash queries, this job is also fairly sales-orientated, so youll need to think on your feet and spot potential sales leads to help the branch meet its targets. Youll also be required to perform basic bank transactions such as:

Cashing cheques Checking statements Processing payments Making money transfers Updating account details The nitty gritty Youll typically work 9 to 5, Monday to Friday although this will depend on the company you work for and the size of branch you work in. You may also be required to work on Saturdays as more branches have now started to open on weekends. If youre looking for flexible work, good news; part-time positions are often available and some cashiers work shifts in a call centre instead.

When it comes to learning the trade, most banks prefer to train and promote their own staff, so the only way is up: senior bank cashier, customer services advisor, personal banker, deputy branch manager and branch manager could all be within your grasp. Money, money, money Newly appointed cashiers earn on average 14k per year rising to 27k with experience. Many banks have profit-related bonus schemes as well as subsidised mortgages, loans and pensions. See what people are earning in this job The good points... Working as a bank cashier is great if youre a sociable person as youll be meeting lots of new people every day, says Sue Desmond who worked as a cashier for Natwest. ...and the bad When the economy started to struggle the work load of a cashier changed. Banks now employ fewer people to do the same job and theres the added pressure of not only serving customers with a smile but selling products to them at the same time. Is there study involved? Banks welcome school leavers into cashier positions and while personality counts in this profession most will expect to see a minimum of four GCSEs (A-C) including English and maths. Youll get plenty of training on the job including courses such as:

NVQ/SVQ Levels 2 and 3 in Customer Service NVQ/SVQ Levels 2 and 3 in Providing Financial Services Anyone who wants to move up the career ladder might also be interested in the Professional Diploma in Financial Services Management (DFSM).

An ability to relate to a people in both a professional and friendly manner is a must-have. Putting it simply, if you arent great with people, you wont enjoy this job. It also helps if you:

Are a great team player Have good attention to detail Have an honest personality Have good numeracy and IT skills The confidence to sell As well as having a thorough knowledge of the bank and its financial products, your customer service skills will come under scrutiny so youll need to have a relaxed, chatty manner to help put the customer at ease.

And your job security is pretty-much guaranteed as all public companies and publicly-funded bodies have to by law undergo an annual audit.

People will question what youre doing especially if you uncover any problems with their records Think of yourself as the Columbo of the financial world! Youll not only have to write reports on your findings, but you may also find yourself in a boardroom giving PowerPoint presentations to managers and directors.

Despite the blow that was dealt to the job-for-life reputation of public sector auditing by the decision to shut down the Audit Commission, theres still a very solid career structure in place for auditors in central and local government, the NHS and beyond. Wider opportunities exist for external auditors in the private sector whether by specialisation in areas such as tax auditing or the increasingly fashionable environmental auditing or by going international.

If admin floats your boat then lucky you, but for many people it can be a dull part of the job. Is there study involved? To get onto the first step of the ladder you will need a bare minimum of two A-levels. But the majority of new entrants are graduates, preferably with a degree at least vaguely relevant to number-crunching or business practice. You then need to study either on a trainee scheme or independently for an accountancy qualification from an accredited body, such as the ACCA, CIPFA or CIMA. On top of this you will also need two years accountancy experience and a recognised practicing certificate before you can conduct an external audit. One favoured route is to join a big accountancy firm, a local authority or the governments National Audit Office as a graduate trainee. Need additional qualifications?

The auditing profession is split between external and internal auditors. The former are the Stormtroopers of the auditing world they descend on a business in packs, not leaving until every last invoice has been checked. Their role is to verify the accounts, to identify mismanagement or fraud, to minimise financial risk and to advise on efficiency. Their conclusions can mean life or death for any company. Internal auditors have a different focus. They tend to look at policies and procedures more than at balance sheets, although they also prepare the accounts that external auditors scrutinise. All auditors have a licence to grill - which is why they are usually feared more than loved.

Best Answer A general manager (commonly abbreviated as GM) typically oversees all aspects of operations within a company, organization or factory. All department heads typically report to the GM, and the GM typically reports to the vice president or president of the company. For large organizations with multiple factory locations, there would be one GM per location. The GM is typically responsible for maintaining a smooth flow of work between departments and for resolving interdepartmental conflicts. The GM is typically the chief whip-cracker, babysitter and problem solver. The most important task of a GM is to assure that the company stays on schedule with regard to production and meets or exceeds the goals set by the vice president, president, CEO or executive board. Please note that this is a very generalized job description as specific duties will vary from company to company and industry to industry.
