Working/Interning at local bank build experience?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>I am a high school senior. I-banking might be something i want to get into. Does working/interning at a local bank help on the resume? or build any skills related? I really need something to do during summer. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>bump.........i'm planning to work at either wamu or bofa as a teller...</p>

3

<p>is it easy to get a job as a teller?</p>

4

<p>Not really... maybe at a Commercial Bank -- not teller station, yes. But customer service always helps. Try to get into a HS internship at an asset management firm.</p>

5

<p>like what kind of firms?</p>

<p>those firms doesn't seem any easier to get into than i-banking firms.</p>

<p>A Legg Mason (AM) type or a Scott Trade (retail broker) type would be a good bet.</p>

<p>good luck at Legg Mason, I called them and they said they only want college juniors</p>

<p>Heh depends on what office. Regional ones are much more lax. They're losing tons of money anyway after their acquisition.</p>

<p>^maybe true
I live in Baltimore, where their headquarters are located</p>

<p>well, i live in a small university town, i don't think they have a regional office here</p>
