How do I write a bank teller resume with no experience?

Before you get started, we recommend that you read through the bank teller job description and note any key terms and phrases they use to describe the role. Throughout your resume, be sure to touch on those same key phrases and skills.

To get started, you will want to lead with a strong objective. The goal is to introduce yourself with a compelling statement about your professional background and a mention of your career goals.

For example, "Recent finance graduate from University XYZ (GPA: 3.86) with three years of experience at a retail store with heavy traffic. Excellent customer service, communication, and interpersonal skills. 100% score on the Bank Teller Certification Exam."

If you have any previous internship or relevant past work experience, you will include that. For each position, include 3 to 6 bullet points. Begin each bullet point with an action verb and, whenever possible, focus on an accomplishment rather than just listing your responsibilities.

For example, "Helped at the front lanes with checkout and cashier duties when necessary."

If you do not have much work experience, use the education section to highlight your academic achievements and relevant coursework. Finally, if you have any relevant certifications, be sure to include those in their own section, as well as a section listing your core skills.
