Proud to be an American 🇺🇸 I'm also Half Mexican & Irish 🇲🇽 🇮🇪

This time it's for a different bank as an entry level associate banker. I have no experience but they are giving me a chance. I did not get selected by another bank I applied for last week so I'm a little nervous for this since I cannot continue to be a Stay at Home Mom (I'm 26 & been a SAHM for 3 months) and this will be my 6th interview this summer without getting hired.

I applied for unemployment just in case I don't get a job this summer but who knows if that would get approved and how long that would take..

Any advice, references or tip are welcome 😃

And yes I will study harder this time, the interview is for Friday

After getting rejected after my very first banking final interview last week, I've decided to apply to 2 other popular banks in my area. For context I live in a small town just 2 hours away from Vegas.

This is an Entry Level position which is perfect because I only have fast food & customer service experience. The positions is for an Associate Banker.

I also recently got rejected by another bank after making it to the final interview because although I prepared, none of the questions I trained for came up during the final interview

Any advice & tips for this phone interview?

I just found out I wasn't selected after making it to the final interview for an entry-level bank teller position. It definitely stings because I was really excited about the opportunity.

For context, I have 3 years of customer service and cash-handling experience, and I've been applying to banks, government jobs, and other customer service positions. I've had several interviews recently but no offers yet. I'm also a mom

My husband works part-time, and we currently live in a small town about 2 hours from Las Vegas. Right now we're fortunate to have family support, and we don't pay rent, which has been a huge help while we're trying to get on our feet. The downside is that there just aren't many job opportunities here.

We've been discussing moving to Las Vegas if I don't find a job by August (after my uncle's wedding at the end of July). The job market there seems much stronger for both of us, but we'd be giving up our current support system and would have to start paying rent and other living expenses.

I'm torn between staying where we have financial support but fewer opportunities, or taking the risk of moving somewhere with a much larger job market.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did moving to a bigger city improve your chances of finding work? And for those who started a career in banking without previous banking experience, how long did it take you to get your first opportunity?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!
