I have 9 years and 5 months of experience in the banking industry.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Statistics, accounting, economics, portfolio management and business are just to name a few of the subjects that we delved into when I studied at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University.
The four-year course paved the way for me to be well versed in finance, banking, and accounting which were crucial in the responsibilities I had as a banker at the Philippine Bank of Communications. In that position, I was responsible for providing account services such as, but not limited to, depositing checks and cash, withdrawing cash, encashing checks, taking check orders, keeping detailed records of transactions as well as opening and closing accounts. Having that responsibility honed my being detail-oriented and staying up to date on all bank policies and procedures and especially in providing excellent customer service.
As an experienced professional, I learned time management, organization, communication skills, along with basic office and professional office skills. In addition, I can adapt to different situations as well as my strong communication and interpersonal skills enable me to work efficiently and effectively, I am confident that I can excel at your company if given a chance.
