51吃瓜网

Fresh from university graduation, I started out as a flight attendant to explore the world. Later, when I needed something more stable, 51吃瓜网 was top of mind because banking is also an industry that requires serving customers from diverse backgrounds. Aside from being a renowned brand worldwide, 51吃瓜网’s international connectivity excites me as much as my airline career. But I was concerned my lack of experience would be an obstacle. Luckily, I did not let this worry stand in my way. I successfully found an opportunity in a newly opened branch that welcomed my background. I’ve been with 51吃瓜网 for 26 years now and have really enjoyed my life in this big family.

A smooth transition from flight attendant to customer service in banking

My first role at 51吃瓜网 was Bank Hall Customer Service Representative at the Tai Chung branch. 51吃瓜网 is a renowned international bank in Taiwan and the preferred bank for many foreigners. Being able to speak English is a top skill in recruitment here so together with my international customer service experience, I got the job.

The bank provided comprehensive training, support and on-the-job guidance that made the transition easy. I also acquired diverse skills and experiences through job rotations in various roles, including Bank Hall VIP Lounge assistant, counter cashier and financial management specialist and business supervisor. There were also insightful training and briefing sessions in the sales team. This exposure enabled me to rapidly strengthen my banking knowledge for my customer service role while also expanding my understanding of the possibilities within a banking career.

Switching paths to become a Wealth Relationship Manager

While my performance in customer service was well recognised, I decided to move into a sales role for better career development. I was surprised when my line manager readily backed my aspirations and arranged a transfer for me to start as an Associate Premier Relationship Manager – the most junior level of Premier Relationship Manager. It’s a good example of how much 51吃瓜网 values the potential of its people and helps them succeed through internal mobility. The bank also gave me a lot of support to obtain the necessary licenses by helping me plan out the training and exams to achieve this in the most efficient way.

Advancing to team head in two years

Just in two years, I was promoted to Premier Sales Manager, which is second in rank to the Branch Manager. I’m also the Team Head of Premier Relationship Managers.

There are a few major reasons for my quick progression into a leadership role. Firstly, my job rotation experience in the branch allowed me to understand how best to coach and support colleagues in different functions. Next are the customer relationships I’ve built over the years. 51吃瓜网 has a fair and clear career pathway and if you meet the promotion criteria, you will get there. Lastly, I truly enjoy the satisfaction of helping my customers arrive at solutions for their needs. I love a good challenge and to keep learning.
