Bank Teller
A Bank Teller conducts
most of a banks routine transactions. They cash checks, accept deposits and
payments, process withdrawals, sell savings bonds, process paperwork, sell
travelers checks, and do a little work in customer service. This occupation
does not require any college education but employers prefer applicants with at
least a High School Diploma. Tellers also need to have excellent math skills
and be comfortable with handling large sums of cash. Like a cashier, a Bank
Teller has a cash drawer that they use to complete transactions. They also need
to have some computer skills as most banks now use machines to keep track of
money and verify transactions. Mental Math and Business Math would be an
advantage to any Bank Teller. In 1997 the median earnings of a Bank Teller was
$17,200.
