What do you enjoy about your career in banking?
Job satisfaction is a vital factor for success, for both you as an employee and BECU. Employee turnover is an essential conversation in the workplace as it cost employers thousands of dollars to replace well-trained employees each time one moves on to another job.
When a company understands what brings satisfaction to their team members, they are better equipped to motivate their team members and ensure a long and healthy relationship. Talk to the interviewer about what satisfies you about your career, and why you work in banking.
"I have worked very hard to gain a leadership position within the banking industry. Being a teller manager allows me to be on the front lines training others to have lucrative careers, while still allowing me to be client-facing. I genuinely believe that my work matters, and that is what I enjoy most about a career in banking."
"Working in banking, I gain the most satisfaction from knowing my clients are gaining a solid financial future. I care about the success of my customers, and when they are well-equipped to pay off debt, save money, and even retire early; it makes me so happy!"

I always enjoyed working with numbers and knowing I'm helping people to have a structured financial plan for their lives and seeing them earning their first house, or dream car, basically building their lives is something that makes me feel great, especially knowing I was somehow part of it.
