"Since I hardly visit a bank lobby to do my banking, I would assume that Tellers handle more job duties over the phone and online rather than with in-person customers. I would envision that on top of traditional withdrawals and deposits, Tellers at Bank of America are also seen as financial advisors. If hired for this role, I would be excited to be flexible and learn new duties to become a more effective member of the team here at Bank of America. In my current role as a Customer Service Rep, I've had to be very fluid in my job duties."

"In my current role as a Teller, I've had to adapt over the last couple of years as my current institution moved a lot of services to a virtual format. I've received extensive training in ATM troubleshooting for customers using the ATM in our parking lot. I've also been trained on our branch kiosks and tablets that customers use for loan applications and other transactions. But because many of our elderly customers still prefer traditional in-person transactions, I've never lost touch with the responsibilities of a traditional Teller. If hired at Bank of America, I'd look forward to being a flexible Teller, willing to adapt to changes."
