Currently working as the business analyst and personal secretary to the chairman of the bank. I analyze all the files submitted to the board of directors. Also, I am responsible for organizing the board meetings.
Before that, I worked at one of the branches of the bank as a credit analyst. I developed a reputation of being an expert in analyzing financial statements and took classes on financial statements to educate my colleagues.
I led the development of two completely new income streams for the branch, i) A loan product, and ii) A deposit product.
Before being a banker I was a sales manager in the biggest paint manufacturing company in the country. There I led a 4-member-team and achieved yearly sales growth of 11.47% which were higher than the national growth.
I have a 18 month gap between my 1st job and 2nd job though. I had to leave my 1st job because my father health deteriorated a lot and being the eldest son of the family, I had to take responsibilities.
Otherwise I think you are in target. Would recommend starting to reach out to some of the current students (if you have not already) and trying to connect. It will be tricky as they are busy but if you have good strong and interesting questions you will be able to get them talking. These relationships will be very valuable in the long run.
