I think that is good, but I would also think of something job related in your accomplishments as well. Go read this page about typical interview questions and the best answers.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I like your answers, but here are some suggestions.
Take 'em or leave 'em. Good luck.

I think everyone who wants a job in customer service of ANY kind says that they are friendly personable and work well w/ people.
How about reliable. Diverse. Know how to work well and deal w/ all different types of people. Know how to best handle difficult situations. Also, that you are extremely EFFICIENT, or RELIABLE, and TRUSTWORTHY, after all you ARE WORKING W- MONEY.
Also state that you know how to deal w/ people w/ out making them feel rushed. Like they are the only person in line, weather or not there are 20 people behind him or not.
Great weakness--
I like the anwser about trying to please everyone.
I persoanlly think a better anwser might be that you are a "perfectionist type" and that you may end up spending a little bit more time on a person, then they--"the bank" or "the company" might like, to be sure that not only are they treated properly and fairly but that that customer is to be treated personally No matter what.

Biggest accomplishment. Your son. That's great too, but give an example as to WHY he is your biggest accomplishment.
Are you a single mother?Have you had to raise him completely by yourself and on your own? Give an example of an obstacle that you have helped him overcome.

Answer 3

i think your answers are very good. by those answers, the interviewer will right away know that you're a good person.

saying that you work well with people, tells him that you can cooperate, you can be a team player, and that won't cause commotion in the workroom.

saying your weakness tells him that you are humble and that you aren't conceited or that you brag.

and by telling him your biggest accomplishment, you are determined and that you will persevere.

i hope you get the job. good luck! ^_^

Answer 4

Throw in something about your organizational skills. You'll be handling money and someone who is well organized tends to be accurate. Accuracy is next to Godly in the position you're applying for.
