Anna\u2019s Career in Banking<\/span>
\nInspires Other Women to Excel<\/span><\/h5>\n

\u201cB<\/strong><\/span>efore Climb, I was very meek and passive,\u201d says Anna, a 2018 graduate of Climb\u2019s Office Careers training in the Teton Area. \u201cMy marriage had been abusive mentally and physically, so I wasn\u2019t coming to Climb in a very assertive way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Anna was unemployed when she started Climb all those years ago, yet even through a fog of self-doubt, she sensed that she had potential. \u201cI had always enjoyed math and been good at it, but it had been so long since I\u2019d used any of those skills,\u201d Anna recalls.<\/p>\n

During training, Anna excelled at QuickBooks and began to see doors opening in her future. Her job placement was with Northern Title, where she oversaw land titles. She has since moved on to become a Mortgage Loan Originator and Assistant Vice President at First Bank of Wyoming.<\/p>\n

Recently, Anna returned to Climb to serve as a mock interviewer and help moms practice for their upcoming job interviews. \u201cIt was so cool to think, \u2018Wow, I was here,\u2019\u201d says Anna. \u201cI remember being so terrified, and it made me realize how far I\u2019ve come.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the bank, Anna also serves as a mentor to other women. \u201cI try to help the women I work with speak up. I say, \u2018If you have a concern, bring it forward! And it\u2019s even better if you can bring a solution with it.\u2019 As women, we must stand up for ourselves and remember how much we bring to the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"\u201cI\u2019m very happy with who I am today,\u201d Anna says. \u201cI know what I want out of life and am not afraid to ask for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to help the women I work with speak up. I say, \u2018If you have a concern, bring it forward!\u00a0And it\u2019s even better if you can bring a solution with it.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
