What can you do after training as a financial assistant?

It’s good to ask. I can give you some important information and advice.

There is no longer the way I took from the Azubi to the procurist, at least it has become very unlikely. I didn’t study because I had only real school. Nevertheless, I did the farmer later in the evening, but he brought me little. Today this is quite different, because many are studying, so leadership functions are more likely to be awarded to university graduates than to employees who work hard, as I did. More later.

I would like to begin by addressing your career choice and wondering if you know what might happen or come to you. What kind of information did you do after training? Do you know what way you want to go?

Again to me:

So I almost knew nothing about the profession in 1983. There was also little information. The only thing I knew was that it was possible to withdraw money in the bank, the bank was responsible for the payment of our money, and that the bankers would advise one in money matters. Whether it was fun I didn’t know, yet I dared to do the training.

At that time, it was so that as an azuub, you got to know a lot of departments so that you can weigh up what could be fun later, or where you can get in the bank. I also got to know departments like payment transactions or document registration where I was thrilled why people do such a stupid job. Sort only documents by number all day and every day. In order to do this you do not need training in the day, but you learn in 2 weeks what they need to do. I don’t think these were any learned bankers, I didn’t ask. But I don’t need to do the training. There were also departments where I couldn’t imagine. Most of the time, however, I was at the switch and that was fun at the time.

Today there are many departments in which I was no longer in training or were automated. I think you are mainly trained for sale today, because the seller is the one who can also earn money through contracting for the bank. So you have to ask yourself: Are you a seller? In the past, I thought that through his knowledge, you can best advise the customer and you can only sell him what he really needs. Unfortunately, I was wrong because the banker is a product seller. As a rule, he is given what to sell or where to put his focus. It is also measured by how many contracts it concludes. In order to reach your predetermined numbers, you have to address every customer, whether you need it. In an emergency, the customers are persuaded that they need something like this, even though it is inappropriate for the customer, but the bank doesn’t care. If you don’t get your numbers then it comes to a serious conversation. You get pressure, because your workplace is in danger or you get only a bad assessment and your career and chances for more pay is at first on your ass. If you always get your numbers, that’s positive. You will be encouraged, you will receive training courses and if necessary you will stelv. Group leaders or even group leaders with employee leadership. The more people get the less they have to take part in the day-to-day business, or the more they don’t have contracts. However, you are not yet safe, because with the leadership position you are not at the top. About you is the branch manager who also has to deliver his numbers and profits. He will then put pressure on you that your employees will also complete many contracts. As a group leader, you have to keep pressure on your employees and ensure that the profits flow. If the group does not reach its numbers, your chair will also be a group leader. One fears that you are not suitable to lead employees and if you have bad luck you will be replaced and released. The only advantage that you have is that the higher you have positioned yourself in the hirarchy, the higher you will then also be able to obtain.
