Do you have any formal education that will help you succeed in this role?
Your formal education might be on your resume, but it's time to dig a bit deeper than merely stating your degree. The interviewer wants you to take the time to walk them through which aspects of your education will be most helpful in this role with BECU. Think about any transferable skills you gained or any related subjects where you excelled.
If you do not have formal post-secondary education, you could refer to your high school education (only if you are a recent HS graduate). Otherwise, think of some online learning you have recently completed.
"I have a Bank Teller Certificate of Completion. My coursework included general banking classes, fraud prevention training, and exercises in daily transaction balancing. This coursework is valuable and helped me to gain a great start in my banking career."
"I am a recent high-school graduate and feel that, as a top student, I bring a few valuable transferable skills. These include etiquette, good written and oral communication skills, great memorization abilities, and a keen willingness to learn. I look forward to the formal training from BECU."
