Bank Relationship Manager (RM)

Whether or not you are looking for a job as a Bank RM, or are already in it, you will know that it is a very challenging role which requires the person to be smart, resourceful, eloquent, articulate, likeable, knowledgeable and determined.

It is a rewarding role if one can break through the obstacles infront of him/her.

There are banks in almost every part of the world, so if one does it well enough, money will be more than enough as banks are in the business of money in the first place.

Bank Sales Staff - Job Hop

There are a number of bank sales managers who move onto other banks, supposedly ''greener pastures''.
Well, some do move onto better grounds, but others just get into deeper waters that could sink them.

Bank Sales Manager

To be successful here, one has to play politics just like anywhere else. Some thought that working in a sales environment would be more objective, but definitely not so.

Even a person with poor sales nos and bad attendance and frequently comes in late for work, can survive working in a sales environment so long as the person knows how to play the game with the bosses.

These bosses are also real lousy bosses who do not know how to treasure the real workers.

Bank Job - The Brighter Side

Well, besides all the doom and gloom, there is also a slightly better side. There are perks for high performing individuals but they are in the minority.
Some good and cunning salespeople can make up to $10,000 a month. But they have to play their game very well and know how to 'pretend' alot.
And of course, work real hard too.

There is another type of lousy manager who, for the sake of cutting costs to increase his/her own bonus, will have no qualms about pressuring you to quit.

He/she will identify those who do not suck up to him/her and make life difficult for them before pushing them to their limits and eventually getting them out of the organisation.

There are also times when new fresh graduates have to face bosses who do not walk the talk, these bosses do not practise what they preach.
They insist that everybody be punctual and hardworking and stick to lunch hours, but they themselves break the rules and do hanky panky stuff behind the scenes.
They may say they are at meetings at other office locations but in reality, they are just out doing things that they want to do besides work.
Poor workers in the office are the ones doing the dirty job.
Of course, there are nice bosses who walk the talk but they are in the minority.

There will also be bosses who give work or projects to these new banking executives or officers and do not give proper instructions as to what it is that is required for the project. Most times, these bosses are clueless about what the project is all about so they cannot give proper guidance. They appear to know alot but in reality, they know next to nothing.
Most of these bosses climb the corporate ladder by playing politics and mingling with the powerful people. They are not in the position because of pure hard work. So that's the reason why they are actually imcompetent and can offer little or no guidance to a new fresh graduate bank officer.
