Given your background, you already know HR and particularly full life-cycle hiring process. My suggestion is that you look around job sites for banking related jobs and learn the banking industry language. Things like what professional licenses are out there and required for specific roles, what systems are commonly used in banking industry, what regulatory governing bodies are etc.

Best wishes.

How to write job descriptions on my resume for sales associate, driver, and errand runner. ?

We Answered:

Think of the job you WANT and then think of the skills and qualities that job requires that you might have used in your other jobs. Think open minded, not closed (sales only) and broad.

Skills that you use no matter where you work are called "transferable skills" - meaning they can "transfer" from one place to another because most companies want them.

I don't know if any of this is accurate but here's my suggestions:

SALES ASSOCIATE-Autozone
Provided excellent customer service by knowing the inventory and being able to ask probing questions to help diagnose issues and make recommendations on necessary parts for car repair. Worked as cashier processing sales and processing credit cards. Provided added value and upsold customers by offering additional services or warranties on purchases.

Maintained accurate inventory and made sure that products were always prominently displayed on shelf and that shelves were never empty.

DRIVER-Esi
Delivered products to customers within a XXX mile radius. Required good sense of timing and planning routes to optimize delivery times and make sure that all deliveries were made in a timely manner with no back-tracking or missed drops. Provided excellent customer service by making sure the paperwork was accurate and delivery items not damaged or broken.

TECHNICIAN-Capehart Cutlery
Driver - [same or similar to above]
Sales and Customer Service. Sold knives and other accessories to customers providing customer service by asking questions and truly seeking to provide the customer with a good buying experience and the best product for their needs. Looked for opportunities to increase sales and add value to the customer experience by suggesting products that complimented the purchase the custmer was making and offering any additional services, warranties or features.

Following is a quick look at the categories that make up a well-written job description:

Title of the position
Department
Reports to (to whom the person directly reports)
Overall responsibility
Key areas of responsibility
Consults with (those who the person works with on a regular basis)
Term of employment
Qualifications (necessary skills and experience required)
Educational requirements and experience requirements are the areas where inadvertent discrimination may occur. Educational requirements must be a real necessity for the job. If someone could accomplish the work with equivalent job experience but who lacks a specific credential, the job description should be modified. And to avoid age discrimination, experience should not include an upper limit.

Tips:

Don’t rely solely on a job’s history as you’re putting together a job description for today. Focus instead on what the job needs to be in light of the organization’s current needs and long-term objectives.
A task is what the person in the job will actually do. Qualifications are the skills, attributes, or credentials a person needs to perform each task. Clarify the actual tasks and responsibilities before you start thinking about what special attributes will be needed by the person who will be fulfilling those responsibilities.
A well-written job description consists of more than a laundry list of the tasks and responsibilities that the job entails. It reflects a sense of priorities.
Credentials (such as degrees and licenses) are absolute necessities in some jobs. The thing you want to make sure of, however, is that whatever credentials you establish have a direct bearing on the candidate’s ability to become a top performer.
The job you describe must be truly doable. When you’re lumping several tasks into the same job description, make sure that you’re not creating a job that very few people could fill.
Use specific language. For example:
Too General
Specific

Computer literate
Proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, QuickBooks

Good communication skills
Ability to communicate technical information to nontechnical audiences

Handles administrative chores
Receives, sorts, and files monthly personnel action reports


Warning! A job description is generally regarded as a legal document. Any references to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin or nationality, or physical or mental disability is illegal.
