Day to Day

I wake up early and walk to my computer in my home office and sign on to start my day. I have meetings / conference calls with my team to discuss what needs to get done today and this week. I log onto several different computer applications and start researching information so that I can complete the review of loans, grants and volunteer activities done by Capital One to see if the qualify to receive CRA credit and be included in the examination provided to the OCC (government).

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for high school students

I think it is good to start anywhere in a large company and work your way up. Apply for a job with a company you like / respect for whatever reason (benefits, pay, what they do, etc.). A good place to start is as an assistant to learn more about the company and what they do. Once you are in the door you can get hands-on training instead of paying for a college degree that you might not use. You will be the first to know when there are job openings and possibly know the people doing the hiring.
