What should I know about becoming a bank teller?

I have decided that I would like to work as a bank teller while I am finishing college. What can you tell me about how to get this job? The perks and downfalls of the job and the best banks to work for. However none of that is important if I don't actually get to work at a bank so basically how do you recommend that I get hired at a bank?

Perks:
well the bank I worked at was really slow so I got to work on crossword puzzles a lot. also, free coffee.

downfalls:
you can't be a sensitive soul because people get MAD when they bounce checks, even if it's their own fault. so it helps if you are good at calming people down.

during the interview, emphasize your punctuality, efficiency, and accuracy with handling money. being even pennies off screws everything up. dress uber professional and conservative (which was hard for me since i'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of woman).

Built in 1903 for the Bank of New South Wales, it was designed by architects John Sulman and Joseph Power. This Victorian architectural design features a triangular pediment with a coat-of-arms, supported by corinthian columns. The design features symbols found in the official coat-of-arms granted to the State of New South Wales in 1906 such as the wheat sheaf, golden fleece, rising sun and southern cross.
