Proclaiming a New Year's resolution is a time honored tradition. The New Year offers a fresh start to wipe the slate clean of last year's procrastinations and unfulfilled year-end promises. "I'll lose weight." "I'll pay off a debt." "I'll spend more quality time with family."
One of the most common resolutions - "Find a new job." According to recent survey by Careerbuilder.com, "More than a third of 2,200 workers polled this month plan to hunt for a new job in the New Year, and 32% said their prospects of finding one were strong."
So, why are people looking to leave their current jobs? According to the survey, 58% want to leave because they are unhappy with promotion prospects in their current jobs.
Banking offers people an opportunity to build their careers. It's a chance for you to take control of your career. At CalNational Bank, we conducted our own poll. We found that 64% of our Branch Managers began their banking careers at Customer Service Representatives or Tellers. On average, it took 8 years to become a Branch Manager earning a salary between $71,000 - $106,000 plus incentives and 100% paid medical benefits.
We also found that between January 2005 - January 2006, 119 employees received promotions within the organization. That is more than 15% of our staff!
In addition, each year CalNational Bank honors its tenured employees with a luncheon hosted by the President and CEO. In 2005, we recognized more than 30 employees for reaching their 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25+ years of service and commitment to excellence. In 2004, we honored 94 employees for reaching their employment milestones.
This year, if you re looking for an opportunity for a promotion and career advancement - consider CalNational Bank. Make your resolution a reality.
