I have been working in banks for 17 yrs and still at the middle level why?

I used to be at a bank too, and my father sits on the board of directors. The problem with banking is that there is no room for advancement. The people at the top usually stay there til they are either fired or retire. I know people who have been there even longer then you who are still at the same level. do you work for a small branch or a large one like bank of america? it is probably easier to work up at a bigger branch

Banking  is  a  global  business,  I  suggest  you  do   some of  your  own  homework  and  think  about  the  repercussions  of  lacking  staff  with  international  banking  skills  or  loosing  staff  that   had  the  skills.\n     You  will  be  a  mediocre  talent  yourself  unless  you  start  actually  learning  some  of  this.    Don't  YOU  want  to  be  an  asset  they  desire  to  hire  then  retain  ?

Your are working at a college, what do you expect. Colleges have a seniority system to get up the ladder. Believe me, there is a lot of office politics at colleges. However, it seems they don't want to pay you as a full time person there while they got one student working part time. Think about it, instead of having 3 full time workers, they are using 2 full time, and 2 part time workers. They got 4 workers instead of 3 under a budget they get from the guy at the top. That means they can get more work done faster than having 3 workers. Yet, again, they are under a budget which is another reason why you don't have a desk and all the perks, and your supervisor is showing off to his boss how much he is saving and the employee organization structure he set up at the same time to move up the ladder and more money for himself. Again, it is all about office politics & seniority crap. Welcome to the world of evil and greed in the work place. I suggest going somewhere else since it will be a very long time before you move up the ladder or get a full time with perks at that college. Good Luck.

If your paychecks are being delayed, that means that this company's having a serious cashflow problem and probably won't be in business for very much longer.  You need to dust off the old resume and start pounding the pavement looking for a new job (preferably one that isn't about to go into bankruptcy).  Good Luck.

You are now into an industry where you need to work, work, work and work. Really, Mortgage business are getting more harder day by day as the Interest rate are rising like anything.\nBasically mortgage business is a referal business but most of the Loan officers do not get refrences in the beginings. So they left demotivates.\nAccording to a survey 80% of the loans are closed by 20% of the Loan officers and the rest 20% of the Loans are closed by the other lest 80% loan officers.\nSo to get a good start there are thousands of ways all you need to be is hard working and of course smart worker.\nI can get you couple of ways where you can start closing loans in just a small span of time.\n1) Start mailing your flyers, this is one of the way you can use in the begining. Target around 3000 homes in your area and hire few kids to distribute some flyers there and let everyone know that you are a new LO in this area. Also you can mail these flyers and do remember to leave your Name and phone number here. This way can really help you but it takes alot of time, because you get a call back from just 1-2 out of 100 that you just to say HI and if they need something they will contact you.\n2) The Second and the best way you can use for the beginers. Buying leads- You can buy leads from good telemarketing companies who generate leads for different Loan officers. The biggest problem with this is they sell the same leads to several loan officers and when you call the customer they already got numerous calls from other companies. But there are some reliable companies who can provedi you quality leads and ofcouse these will be give to you and only you.\nSo find out some one who can get you virgin leads and you can start closing loans soon.\nGood Luck

Be open-minded\n\nI was in that same rut until I quit my last job and changed careers to a completely different field.  I make a fraction of the money and have nowhere near the opportunity for advancement… but I love the work I do so none of that really matters anymore.\n\nThe best advice I can give is to not fall into the mindset that you need to work a certain job at a certain level in a certain field.  When I left my last company I went through a few months of unemployment.  Although I could have gotten the same type of job at a fraction of a percent higher pay rate than I left at, I passed.  \n\nI looked at some of the other skills I knew I had developed and used at various jobs and focused my resume on those instead of the obvious.  Although I had worked in IT for years, I realized that I had twice that in Customer Service experience since much of IT is still customer based.  That opened up a massive number of jobs and even allowed me to qualify for much higher level ones than the one I had left.\n\nIf your problem exists in advancing within a company once you get settled in, you’re not alone.  The people I’ve seen advance are the “yes” men, who buy into the corporate logic and never dispute or raise any objections to it.  Hollywood glamorizes the individual thinker and tells stories about people succeeding by being different (ever see the movie, “Big”?) but real life is entirely different.  If you don’t feel like selling your soul to a corporation, you can consider turning to non-profit work or opening your own business.

You could go another route and mention that in today's job market there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of corporate commitment to the employee and so you have left environments that you did not see longevity.  "It's sounds like your company is looking for commitment and I am as well.  Why don't we take a risk on each other?  I am sure neither would be disappointed."  \n\nSell yourself to them and you.  You all need to take a risk on believing in you.

The best way to get out of this hell, is to start with small numerical and then keep going  in all directions. The baby steps you would take would ultimately lead you to a great goal. Regarding the depression part, its very expected that you would be having such problem due to your illustrious career in the past, but you dont need to think about the past and others too. I know its easier said than done, but your consistent and committed efforts will surely bear fruits.

That's a tough situation to be in and yes I do understand the anger and fustration, but as you said how would your suing the current employers look to future employers and plus you are still young and very qualified so why not try applying for another job maybe in the same area or even do something else parttime so that you can make the money to move back home. Hey I left a well paying job recently as I was promised a better paying job only to be told that they changed their minds and so here I am a university graduate working at a call centre making minimum wage. So sometimes when life hands you lemons hey make lemonade with it, you never know, there may be much better in store for you somewhere else and you will look back at this and just smile.

Obvious answer of working more hours.\n\nPerhaps a better answer would be get a raise, perhaps increase your qualifications, or simply ask for one.\n\n(NB/ Above two options require you to be employed)\n\nGet a second job.\n\nMy prefered way would be to invest any free money you have in something to gain a return that is better than what the bank gives. Stocks, bonds or property.

This depends on your status at the bank. If you are in good status i.e. no previous over drafts and you have had an account open for a year or more. If this is the case than there is good news.\n\nCall the branch where your account was opened and talk to the branch manager. Explain the situatuation and be sure to tell him or her about your good standing with the bank. You are the customer, so stand up and demand to be rewarded for being a good customer. Remember everyone makes mistakes.\n\nIf you are in bad standing, I would call anyway. Explain your situation and you may get them reduced. And if that doesn't work, pay your fines and close your account. Go somewhere that understands.

Your reason was very poor.\n\nWhat have you done in the last 6 years to increase your value to the company?  What are you doing today to increase the profits of your employer?  What can you do tomorrow to increase the profits of your employer?  What are you doing to improve relationships with your company's clients?  What are you doing to increase the morale of the company?\n\nAnswer those questions.. take your answers to your boss, explain those answers to him, and tell him what you believe you are worth.\n\nIf you can't answer those questions, you have a BIG problem.

I think the key here is that you 'want' a change, but you 'need' at least 55k. It sounds like you need to stay put, unless you can demonstrate that you are worth more in a brand new profession than you are in your profession of 15 years.

You could try getting another job.  Ask how you could help your company more.  Maybe they are downgrading you because you are not performing up to their expectations.  Why do you think god is mad at you?  You need to deal with that.  You can get ahead based on your own efforts and abilities.  If your salary didn't change, maybe it's no big deal.  Look for opportunities and work for them.  Don't wait for your company to take care of you.  They won't.

Keep your job for now and explore other opportunities that you may be interested in that pay better. If you find something you like that will support you better apply and, if you get it, quit where you are now. Improve your status little by little and sooner or later you'll be comfortably living
