Additional Information
* I graduated McKendree University intending on pursing a career in Ag/Commercial Lending. I thought I took the proper steps working at a semi-local bank during College & Sport(s) to gain bank experience. In return asking for shadowing the loan department. I unfortunately got told I was not going to be a loan officer unless I had experience, which I wasn't guided or helped understanding what certifications, or any help/opportunity to get me on my path.
* I've been successful with B2B sales for the past 6 years but my heart is telling me to work on getting back to being a loan officer again. I hope you see my past work experience as I am seeing it benefit me as an Ag/Commercial loan officer.
*Thank you for the time considering my application for this position
