Much of a banking environment will be routine; however, the customers you interact with will change daily. So, although banking may offer routine, there is still variety in your day. Show the interviewer that you can handle the balance.
Let the interviewer know that you understand you will have the same goals and processes each day. At the same time, show that you can manage the challenge that comes with customer interaction and other factors that deliver unpredictability in the workplace.

"I enjoy both working in a routine but also having a mix of responsibilities. In my current position, my schedule and goals are the same every day. What changes daily are my clients and their needs. These needs are where my day can become unpredictable. I enjoy that variety because it keeps me on my toes, engaged, and excited to come to work every day."

"Although it may seem routine, no day is the same for me in the banking industry. Generally speaking, my job function remains the same every day, but my customers offer me variety in my day. I am pleased with the pace that this role offers."

I prefer a mix of responsibilities to keep me engaged and on my toes along with a balanced daily schedule.
Stephanie's Feedback
Great--I suggest naming some specific strengths that this brings out (example: you're great at multi-tasking, you're an achiever who gets a lot done, etc.)

I appreciate both! While I think routine is really important for an organized work environment I enjoy the challenge of multitasking.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! The interviewer will be happy to hear that you like both kinds of responsibilities. Can you discuss what you like about having routine tasks (e.g., knowing what to expect, becoming an expert in those areas, etc.) and what you like about working on new and unexpected projects (e.g., they make your day more interesting, you get to learn new things, etc.)? Explain your reasoning. Good job!
