Cover Letter Tip for New Bank Tellers

John writes, “I’m trying to get a job as a bank teller, but I have no experience in this field. What should I say in my cover letter?”

Kim’s Answer: Your cover letter needs to prove that you have what it takes to be a bank teller. Start by researching bank teller jobs (you can search for bank teller jobs on Monster) and figuring out what employers look for in their ideal employees. Customer service, communication, basic math, accuracy/attention to detail, honesty, and integrity are a few of the skills you’ll find are important. Write down a list of your matching credentials and weave them into the cover letter.
Keep in mind that many banks provide training to entry-level tellers, so it’s up to you to convey that you’re a fast learner and have the basic skills to do the job.
