Anonymous Answer

Compliance is natural to me, for I love to protect the agency from which I serve and work. It is one of the many reasons I joined the United States Marine Corps and then the Wilmington Police Department. To serve and protect. I see compliance as a fireman sees a fire, we both run towards the fire and not away.

Stephanie's Feedback

It's clear that you're very passionate about compliance work. However, since the duties of working in bank compliance are very different from your role in the marine corps and at the police department, I would suggest highlighting your specific interest in this type of work. Which duties/responsibilities appeal to you? What specific transferrable skills or strengths do you bring to the work?
