Metro bank

[oldstudentmum]

My son had a telephone interview at the end they said jobs yours ( background he has never worked in banking) I can’t help thinking something wrong????

Apprentice but it seemed too quick to say at the end of an interview the job is yours.everything by phone no face to face video. I hope it is all ok but “nagging doubt” is on my shoulders.

What do you think is going to happen to him OP?

Presumably because apprentice is such an entry level/junior role they aren’t looking for someone with experience or background in banking - just someone with a good attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Maybe your son just ticked all of those boxes and they knew right away they wanted to offer it to him?

Thanks I was just worried and yes he does tick all the boxes. He is very good at customer service. He still hasn’t had a contract through so he is going to wait til then to hand his notice in on current job. Thanks guys xx merry Christmas

Hello! Ex-MB here (left to go freelance). The approach for low-level roles like apprentices is “hire for attitude, train for skill” - if he has good customer service, he doesn’t need experience!

Metro Bank is great. Well done to your son!

I know someone who works for Metro bank in a fairly senior post. They're hemorrhaging staff and finding it very difficult to recruit, so it's entirely possible that they're offering to everyone who scores "adequately" in interviews.
