Question 19 of 25

Do you know anyone that works in the banking industry?

Interviewers need to be aware of any potential conflicts of interest when working with money, and it is imperative to be candid with the interviewer about any relationships you have with people who work in the industry.

Think through your friends, immediate family, and extended family. Do any of them work for a bank, credit union, or mortgage company? If so, tell the interviewer the person's relationship to you, where they work, and what role they work in. In many cases, these links are not a big deal. The bank just wants to be aware of them.
