Yeaaa, well I got the job at Regions Bank. I started Yesterday, but had such a loong day that I was to tired to post anything. The job is about a 25 min -ish drive from where I live in the morning, but the drive back is like 1.5 hours due to the rush hour traffic. We need to move. So, I'm just going to stay at work in the eve's and work OT then deal with THAT nonsense. The job doesn't seem THAT difficult, but there are many elements involved with which I need to keep on top of.

Regions Bank

I had an interview Friday morn at Regions Bank. The interview went very well and the position is well suited for me. I know that b/c the interviewing manager told me so 8)

The position involves working at the Regions Bank Administration building. I'll be handing lines of credit regarding real-estate from both residential and commercial accounts. This office is also the hub of their international division, so I will be handling those accounts as well. In total I'll be analyzing, extending or denying notes of credit in worth of about $6.8 BILLION in annual revenues each year.

I'll be working on a 7 person team of which there are currently 5. I was told that Regions will be hiring 2 more persons to round out this department and he had 4 more interviews to do. IN Addition, he mentioned that some of those persons had other skill sets that might be better suited in different departments and he felt that I was a good candidate for this position. He mentioned that I should have some idea by the end of this week.

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I could sure use an better opportunity which will venture me into a career that is far more meaningful.
