Whether you are looking for a job as a bank teller, bank manager, loan officer, commercial underwriter or business analyst, there are plenty of opportunities to find a banking job. But experienced banking executives and newbies trying to break into the banking field alike should follow a few tips and guidelines to find a banking job.


1. Make sure you have the proper skills and necessary degrees and certifications. Figure out what types of positions you are qualified for. Some banking jobs may require that you are a CPA, while others might be entry-level positions, requiring little experience.

2. Write a resume. If you do not have any experience in writing a resume, consider hiring someone to write it for you. Accentuate your banking and finance background. If you are looking for a lower level position, highlight any cashier jobs or other work experience handling money.


3. Post your resume to several online job sites. Job banks and other Web sites have listings for local and national bank jobs, and you can get advice on writing your resume, search their database for jobs and apply right online.


4. Scour the classified ads. Look in the classifieds of your local paper and any college newspapers in your area. Check under the categories of banking, finance and accounting to find banking jobs.

5. Interview with an employment agency. Several employment services hire only for banking and finance jobs. Find such an agency by looking in your local phone book, and call the agency to set up an appointment. You will likely have to fill out
6. Apply directly with banks in your neighborhood. Banks will usually take applications even if they do not have a position currently open. Go directly to the bank and ask if it's possible for you to fill out an application. They can keep it on file, in case a position opens up that meets your needs and qualifications.


6. Network with friends and relatives. One of the best ways to get a job is through word of mouth, so keep feelers out with friends and family for any open banking jobs.
