My greatest strengths as a relationship banker are my ability to think creatively and provide excellent customer service. In my current role, I am known for using my knowledge of all of the available products offered at my bank and our partner institutions to maximize value on behalf of my customers. I always stay up-to-date on the latest offerings and look for ways to exceed their expectations. I am accountable for my work and my customers learn quickly that they can trust me to take great care of their needs. As a result, I have the highest customer referral rate at my bank in my current position. I feel confident I will be able to achieve the same level of success here at XYZ Bank if offered the position.

First, take some time to think about what you're great at professionally. If you are struggling to come up with a list, ask a current co-worker, manager, or former colleague. Keep in mind that your strengths may represent both technical and soft skills.

Next, compile a short list of your best strengths and compare them to the skills required for success as a relationship banker (customer service, sales, financial knowledge, experience, math skills, etc.). Check to see how your list stacks up to the job description for the exact role you're interviewing for. While there are general skills that most financial institutions value, the role you want may require something unique.

Finally, narrow your list down to two or three of your strengths that align with the role and position. Note any stories or examples you would want to touch on to support the answer you plan to provide.

It is best to stick to two to three strengths when answering this question. Describe your strengths at a high-level and then provide a few supporting details for your response. End your answer by convincing your interviewer that your strengths are in alignment with the role you're interviewing for.
