Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

Although Regions Financial tends to recruit in "Southern states and some of the Midwest," the firm, as its name suggests, is very much a regional player. The Birmingham, Ala.-based firm does not participate in nationwide recruiting. It is not overly selective, but still pulls from a "small market with a small pool of qualified individuals." The bank offers careers in five main areas: retail, lending, credit, trust and audit. Interested candidates can check out current job openings at the firm's career web site (www.regions.com/Careers/index.shtml), where they can also apply online. Like many financial institutions, Regions requires a drug test, criminal background check, and verification of education and past employment before giving out a final hiring approval. In some cases, a pre-employment credit check is required.
