As a Teller with Bank of America, you must have excellent organizational skills to handle multiple tasks throughout each workday. Customers often have multiple transactions to process, and your job will be to ensure that the customer's needs are handled accurately and efficiently. Describe a time you had to multitask on the job. Point out the organizational skills you used to ensure that all of your duties were handled. If you are a new graduate, talk about multitasking in your school or personal life as long as it is relevant to this role.

"In my current role as an Administrative Assistant, I often juggle multiple tasks simultaneously. I often handle schedule coordination for five different managers at my company, set up organization-wide meetings, and send multiple communications out at the same time. To stay organized when handling many things at once, I utilize my Outlook calendar and a written checklist to ensure all tasks get done promptly."

Kimberly Hallman

Kimberly is a freelance writer and editor with a decade of experience in the education field, including her time as a pre-kindergarten teacher.

"During my years working in the restaurant industry, I became an expert in handling multiple customers at a time. I juggled my customers' orders while manning the cash register at times. I learned how to record customer orders on my order pad accurately and developed what I would call a multitasking mind by training my brain to commit all of my customers' orders to memory. I think my years in that industry will translate well to the Teller role here at Bank of America."
