The interviewer would like to get to know more about you. Give an overview of how you got into the banking industry, your education and experience, your current role, and what brings you to the interview with Wells Fargo. Engage the interviewer by telling your story with enthusiasm! Consider sharing a skill you developed that will be useful for this position. Avoid giving too many personal details (marital status, how many children you have, your religion, etc.), and try to keep your answer brief (no more than a couple of minutes).

"I was born and raised here and actually live within a ten-minute commute from this branch. I grew up knowing Wells Fargo as my parents have always banked with you and have heard many good things about you all. I'm a people person, I'm very outgoing and love meeting new people, so I would enjoy working with customers every day. I don't have formal education related to banking, but I do have on-the-job experience. On a personal level, I enjoy playing the guitar in my free time and I'm an avid sports fan!"

"I started my career in banking fifteen years ago as a teller at a local bank. I quickly found that I loved working with the public and working with money, so I decided to go back to school and completed my bachelor's degree in finance. Over the years I progressed into a leadership role and have been a branch manager for the last five years. Outside of work, I love to hike and travel internationally!"
