"Since I'm just getting into my banking career, there are several possibilities I have in mind for the future. I would like to go to school to obtain my bachelor's in a banking-related field. I would also like to explore more loan officer-type positions, as I feel like that is something I would be interested in down the road. Right now, I want to focus on learning and growing my foundational skills, then explore more areas of interest in a few years."

"I would eventually like to move into a branch manager role. I want to develop my skillset over the next few years to be well-rounded with technology, processes, and people leadership so that I can move up in the company. I also plan to back to school in the evenings to obtain my bachelor's degree in business management."

"I really enjoy being a branch manager but would like to explore a regional bank manager role in the future. I love building the business and enjoy traveling, so I think a larger territory to manage would be ideal once I have a little more local experience under my belt."

Anonymous Answer
I hope to continue to develop my career with Wells Fargo, and I do aspire to become a service manager or branch manager. I am continuing to pursue my Bachelor's degree, which I had planned to use initially to become a teacher, but if the opportunity should arise for growth at our branch, that is where I'd like to remain.
Rachelle's Feedback
Your answer shows loyalty to Wells Fargo and an honest interest in growing within the company. Keep in mind that mentioning your initial desire to become a teacher could cause some doubt in the interviewer as far as longevity goes. It will depend on the outlook and personality of the interviewer; however, you may want to remove that part of your response.
