Como se Dice??

Well, what is going on with me? Well from the last time we spoke, I am not sure if I specified what had happened at my other job? I was let go from my project management duties. It turned out that there was not a real need for me since business was slow. I knew that this was coming but I really didnt know it was going to happen. When it did happen, I wasnt mad. I understood what was going down. So after I was let go, I searched and searched for a new job. No openings. Some interviews but none that fanned out. Then my mom's friend who is the branch manager for one of the Wamu branches said that they were looking for tellers. My mother who is always looking out for me, to help me in any way possible, made an appointment for me to meet with her friend.

This was a Friday and she explained to me what the job was, how much it payed and what was going on. I gave her my resume and applied to be a teller. I went to an interview that following Tues. Met with 2 of the managers there. They seemed really nice.

They called me back and asked that I come in and sign some papers and be a shadow with other tellers. This was the start for my next career move as a Bank teller. After the week of shadowing, I was sent to training for two weeks. At the training facility they gave us the fluff knowledge, the background and the hypotheticals that could come about while being a teller. Happy I made new friends and eager to start my own career I was looking forward to my next week as a teller.

The first week was kind of crazy. I worked Monday, had Tues off, then worked from Wed through Sat. I shadowed for about a few hours that Monday, then they had to do some transactions. I was being watched over by the manager and then by senior teller. But at this branch, it gets busy rather quickly, so they both went off to help other tellers or customers. I was left on my own. There are 2 lines, 1 for direct deposit and 1 for all the other items. I was in the latter type of line. I was doing loan payments, closing accounts, withdrawals, transfers, and finally deposits. As hectic as Monday was, the rest of the week was no different. I found myself somewhat frustrated yet eager to learn more. I was always learning through those days. You could say that I am always learning. Today is the start of my 2nd week of tellering. Today was no exception. I kept putting money in wrong accounts, but good thing I knew what I was doing and I reversed and corrected my problems. Again, I am still learning the processes but it is getting better I hope. I still have to have my time of being watched and observed by a supervisor so that they can write down and tell me what I need to work on. I doubt this will happen soon since we are always so busy. Any who, that is my life up to date in regards to my career.

I havent been online lately and I apologize for that. Hopefully I can spit out my blogs as the days roll on. But for now, I am doing fine, tellering and working. Not much here on the working front.
