What should a bank teller put on a resume?

The best way to demonstrate bank teller experience on a resume is to first define what key teller experience you have -- If you recently graduated from high school, this could be a summer job at a retail store, or if you are later in your career, i.e., working as a bank teller in another bank.

Next, you should consider how you have used key bank teller skills in your work experiences. Some examples of job duty descriptions that showcase teller experiences and skills include:

• Process standard teller transactions for customers, including servicing client accounts, accepting loan payments, managing safe deposit box payments, cashing checks, balancing cash drawers, handling night deposits, and correcting discrepancies

• Balance automated teller machines, teller cash dispensers (TCDs)/teller cash recyclers (TCRs), often totaling more than $100,000

• Sell and redeem US Savings Bonds applications to the Federal Reserve as needed

• Respond to customer account inquiries from 130+ weekly accounts

• Assisted supervisors with audits and daily balancing of the vault, which exceeded $50,000

• Organized 200+ customer transaction receipts on a daily basis so that they could be properly filed in a timely manner

These examples take both keywords and skills (like managing safe deposit box payments, customer transaction receipts, and responding to customer account inquiries) to describe the duties and responsibilities within the bank teller's professional role.

However, the best resumes showing bank teller experience will not only tell what was done within the role but will highlight the accomplishments with a resume summary. This is absolutely critical to show your teller experience and allow a hiring manager or recruiter to gain a little insight into who you are and your applicable personality traits.
