If hired, how will you begin to build trusting relationships with our clients and your co-workers?
Credit Unions often boast a tighter-knit customer base than traditional banks. Members of Credit Union 1 may have higher expectations when it comes to the level of service they receive from you, and it all begins with connection. With a wide range of backgrounds, and personalities; client and coworker connections can take time to form. Discuss how you ensure an active line of communication right from the start.
"First impressions can mean everything, so I will make a strong attempt to build a genuine connection with Credit Union 1 clients and team members. With your members, I can ask lighthearted discovery questions such as where they work, or if they have any fun vacations coming up. I will also be open to feedback on how I can best support them and their banking needs. With my co-workers, I will be there to listen, observe, learn, and support."
"To build a trusting relationship with my co-workers, I will show up to work on time and dressed appropriately. I will listen to their coaching and ask for feedback. When it comes to the members of Credit Union 1 I will add value to every interaction and get to know them on a level that is personal yet still professional."

I would be friendly and approachable. I would ask subtle questions and take the time to get to know everyone on a more personal level remembering the names of members is a big thing I think.
