Banking is a job that is filled with stress (in today’s recession, which isn’t) with many falling victim to the recession. As companies trim their workforce to save on costs you may be the next in line so make good of your existing job. Feel you can do more? make it known to your boss for instead of hiring from the outside, they usually prefer promotions rather than hiring from the employment pool. Why hire, you may ask when management is cutting down on personnel, there are certain positions that must be filled, essential for operations.
A trimmed down office that lost more than half of their employees normally need one or two to replace the ones shed. Make management know that you are interested for promotion and that you can better be of service in a higher capacity. Drive is what most people lack and what they need to get them on the road to promotion. Valuate yourself and your abilities then bring them up front for management to see, who knows, they might have just been waiting for you to gather courage and experience!
