1 answer - Asked By: thomas r - 9/8/2008
In a couple days I'm going in to complete a series of assessments (?) at a bank. I don't know if I should wear a suit w/jacket or just a nice shirt and tie. I don't want to wear a suit if it is complete overkill considering it's a job (bilingual customer service representative) that uses mostly the phone for communication. However I don't want to be unprofessional. Any suggestions?

I am getting a little frustrated at this , and noticing that hispanics are becomming increasingly arrogant towards whites as well if in the majority. Sure enough if a business is full of latinos or hispanics they will have attitudes towards whites and the managers will only keep hiring thier own kind despite the lack of customer service, job skills, or qualifications. They only hire hispanics with some blacks.

I'm a 24 year old female. I travel back and forth between Hoboken, NJ and the Richmond, VA area on a regular basis. I do not drive right now. I have a phone and internet access. I have no degree, but am articulate in speech and written word. I am also bilingual, speaking English and Spanish. What are some jobs that will allow me the flexibility to go back and forth between NJ and VA? I was thinking about something like Customer Service over the phone, but I wouldn't even know where to start looking for something like that. Any other suggestions are welcome too. Thanks!

My wife works for Northwest airline as a bilingual customer service represetative. She suddently moved out 3 weeks ago without telling me to Chicago. After some investigation, I found out she moved in with one of her male colleagues who also works for NWA. I also have found out that they had been flying together to different cities for their secret rendez-vous. Could someone please tell me if NWA has outlined any specific policy on employee conducts prohibiting this type of inappropriate relationship on the job? If so, who should I report this to?

Hi everyone! I would love a position in Bank of America as a part time bank teller. There is currently a job posting and they mention that they prefer bilinguals! The problem is I havent had any experience handling cash or customer service. I am also a college student so do yall have any advice? :) I would really love to get this job, but I feel as if they wont bother looking at my application because of the lack of knowledge.

I recently moved from Ontario to Montreal and am looking for some job options. I actually enjoy working in call centers and am looking for something inbound (customer service, technical support ect) that doesn't require French. There seems to be many biligual and French-only position which I wouldn't be able to take. All the English positions seem to be a sketchy outbound places where you harass people to sign up for credit cards and such.
