i worked at a bank a few years ago. it was fun, but could be very stressful at times, especially around pay day and the holidays.
it involved some selling.......you mention different bank services to the customers and see if they are interested. not much else though.....
you need really good people skills to be a teller and generally positive attitude b/c of all the stress and crap some people give you. good attention to detail......good with numbers to a certain degree. need to be able to document stuff (goes with being detailed).
the two big things i learned from the bank: immediately tell your boss when you make a mistake and if you ever question a transaction, get their initials on the document (check, deposit, etc) and take someone down with you! not to me be mean, but at least you asked someone else about it and they agreed.
you can keep trying. it paid well and i got benefits as a part time.
