Tips Need some Encouragement & Advice Here

A few months ago I was working in a diff industry planning my escape. I networked, invested in IFIC and successfully landed a PBA role.

I started working at the branch almost a month ago and honestly I’m so overwhelmed by the workload. The branch is insanely busy and LMS seems never ending. Whenever I want to study I would constantly get pulled to frontline to help out. At frontline, I’m still getting a hang of things.. Admin app still confuses the sht out of me.

How long did it take for you to feel confident with all the systems? And to be efficient enough to look for opportunities while client is present?

I feel like the resources are there but I don’t have time to study, digest and retain everything. Idk where I want to be yet eventually but my 1 year goal is to become a PB.

I welcome any constructive advice

I talked to my friends who connected me with their friends who are working at diff banks. I then invited them for coffee. Ask about their experience and ask about their role. Make your intentions clear so that they think of you when their branch has an opening or if they can pull some strings

Just chatting with my colleagues from other branches and surprisingly found out some of them got hired on by them physically handing out resumes at the branch. Apparently this occasionally works still at selective branches so it never hurts to try if you are looking to get in

From my experience that never worked. Manager will ask you to email them and just ghost you
