    A bank teller is a person who works inside a bank and usually sits behind a high counter with a window. A bank teller helps people make deposits and withdrawals from their accounts. He or she also helps people with safe deposit boxes.
    A bank teller needs to have an education. You need a high school education and classes after high school to do this job. Good mathematic skills, reading skills, and computer skills are important for a bank teller. This job pays $25,000 or less a year.
    A bank teller needs to count the money in his/hers drawer correctly. For instance, if someone wanted to withdraw money from a savings account, and the teller gives that person 2 dollars more than what he/she asked for, there will be a problem. At the end of the teller’s shift, the amount of money in the teller’s drawer must be balanced. The bank calls this “proving” the balance. Each teller adds up the amount deposited into the bank and subtracts the amount that was withdrawn from the bank by using the deposit and withdrawal tickets. That amount plus the amount that was in the drawer to begin the day should equal the amount that is in the drawer at the end of the day. If it doesn’t match, the teller has to stay after work until he/she figures out where the mistake is. Sometimes this can take hours and can cause someone to be fired. The teller we talked to on our bank trip thought this was a real pain.
    A bank teller needs to be polite. Who wants a bank teller who is saying rude things and mean stuff? Talking skills are something a bank teller should also have. If you don’t explain something clearly the person might make mistakes that will cost them money! Talking skills and politeness are a must have for bank tellers.
    Bank tellers are very important to a bank!
