What would you look for in employing anyone in a BANK besides regular BA,BSc,..bla bla?

Question

What special or exceptional qualities will you look out for?

Answer 1

1. Independent thinking that will not result in the bank losing monies or clients (i.e. follow the rules, but recognize areas that can be improved upon, prove to your manager it can be done but doesn't necessary have to be done. No I am always right or my way of the highway attitude.)
2. Good basic understanding of finances and the bank's specific products available. Learning about the products/services and proving it during your interview shows initiative.
3. Able to lead and/or manage others (i.e. leadership skills)
4. Able to be work in a group environment and accurately follow directions
5. Good public speaking & disgruntled consumer skills (i.e. needed when you experience pushback from consumers, and fellow employees)
6. A clean criminal record (i.e. no felonies, regardless if no convictions)
7. Humbleness and a willingness to admit/own up to mistakes and learn from them.
