How you got your job
How did you get your current job?
internet 6 years ago- but changed positions there 16 months ago to this new role
What was the application process?
online application, resume & cover letter
Did you have to interview for your current job? If yes, what did the interview process entail?
yes, only 1 interview but 2 people in the interview asking me questions for 30-45 minutes
If you can remember, what questions were you asked during the interview?
was there ever a time when someone took your advice that ended positively?, what trait would you bring to this position that makes you special?
Do you feel your employer properly prepared you for your job? Explain.
no- the trainer was training us as her last class before she moved into another position with the bank so it was rushed, alot of joking around & extra breaks so the time given-which really should have been three weeks- could have been used much more productively if the trainer had actually wanted to teach us
Was there training for your current position? If yes, what did it entail?
2 weeks in a training room at the call center- class was about 30 people but only 1 trainer…..we read through a training manual, took tests on the computer, completed spoken walked through “playing around” on fake accounts to see what & where everything was on the system, role played phone calls with each other
Do you feel your educational background prepared you for your job? Explain.
no- this job has little if anything to do with educational background. you need to listen to people & be able to retain the information & react to the situation they’ve told you about
If applicable, do you feel your internship experience helped you prepare for your job?
n/a
If someone wanted to go about getting a job similar to yours, what would you recommend for him or her to do?
read up online about the HAMP program, the DOJ settlements, understand from comments online the different things homeowners are going through financially or with the level of loss they’ve taken in their home losing equity
What skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a position like yours?
be able to be empathetic- these people are going through all kinds of difficult financial situations, a good listener- customer’s who are going through a difficult time will become upset if they have to repeat themselves due to you not listening, reasonable computer skills since you will be on one all day running 10+ systems/programs throughout the day
Do you feel that you need a certain level of education or training to be successful in your job?
training yes……but education-no-on the job training is all you need-school can’t teach you that
What advice would you give to someone who was about to start work in your position/ line of work?
make sure they are mentally sound-if you take this job home with you it can cause mental distress after hearing all of the situations people are going through
Long-term career plans
Is your current employment part of your overall career plan? Why or why not?
it’s something i was pushed into which was initially a miserable job but has become okay now that workloads have lessened…..i see staying with the bank to finish out my career & retire with them but not staying in my particular field within the bank for more than a couple more years- it is just an exhausting job
What are your current career goals?
to work in some sort of writing capacity- possibly for our legal department which consists of employees with training but that are not lawyers
Is there anything else you would like to share about your career?
nothing i can think of off the top of my head
