Its topics are superb in enhancing tellers' banking knowledge, or bankability quality. Not only it can be considered or drafted in part of the banking institutions' training manuals. It serves to boost your self-confidence in opting for this profession as your career prospect. You will definitely enlightened as I had; that changed my minds to remain in this frontline business rather than to some administrative position. You would not regret reading it or even to the extend of buying it for your library collection as I did.
I was hoping for a resource that might be helpful for a little extra study for my new job as Teller. This book fell quite short of my expectations. The book costs $24.95 so I didn't expect the moon, but it was a bit disappointing. Several chapters were dedicated to advising the reader on how to handle themselves on a job.All but the most common negotiable instruments were mentioned, on the other hand she offered a sound treatment on the most critical aspects of the job on a day to day basis, such as security, settling, and check cashing , still were it that simple!Having just completed teller training, I have to say that any financial institution would have given you these basics at least, the book is more of a Teller development guide, if you're hoping for some extra help with operations, it's not really here.The content might best be described as MENTORING in a book. For those working in very busy locations you may also wonder at the reality of the job of a Teller as she envisions it.
In the section on sexual harassment, the author writes "Dress and act your part. In other words, don't invite advances by deliberately wearing inappropriate clothing or by making suggestive remarks to male customers and co-workers."German-Grapes, Joan (1997-07-01). The Teller's Handbook: Everything a Teller Needs to Know to Succeed (Kindle Locations 1093-1094). McGraw-Hill Education. Kindle Edition.And,"If the man is strictly at fault and the problem is serious, take him aside and, in a friendly way, tell him to stop. It's tough to do this and stay on a pleasant basis, but you should try. For example, you might say, "Look, Bill (or Mr. ____________, if he is a customer), if I did or said something that gave you the wrong idea, I'm sorry, but let's keep our relationship on a business basis." Be friendly and try to ease the situation by helping him to save face in suggesting that he may have had the wrong idea about you."German-Grapes, Joan (1997-07-01). The Teller's Handbook: Everything a Teller Needs to Know to Succeed (Kindle Locations 1097-1100). McGraw-Hill Education. Kindle Edition.So, number one, don't INVITE a man to sexually harass you and, number two, APOLOGIZE if he does.ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????Also I'm 3 chapters in and haven't learned anything on how to actually DO THE JOB
Thorough resource. Part 1 and portions of 4 offer good guidance for the workplace in general, not only tellers.
