I am organized, responsible and cautious, which are very important characteristics for a person who wants to work in a job with such responsibility. I am good at mathematics and I like solving problems.

       I would like to be a bank manager in Portugal but I would prefer working for an international famous bank like HSBC or Lloyds Banking group, which are the best British banks.

These banks would allow me to be in contact with famous people and I find that very interesting. I could even meet Prince Harry!!!

I find this kind of job challenging and we have to prove to other people that they can trust us their money, which is not an easy thing. We have to win their trust and have a good relationship with the clients. I would have to decide my goal and objectives and work hard to meet them as soon as possible.

If I had to choose the bank’s employees I would choose the best qualified people with the best experience in the banking area. I would only grant loans or credits if I was sure that it would benefit the bank.

I would earn a good salary and with that money I would buy a house with lots of space so that I could have lots of animals, travel around the world and buy some nice cars.

But I would also like to help other people (like children from orphanages) and help organizations that protect animals.
