The Banking Sector offers many posts, which are sought after by the majority of youth today. Some of these posts like bank clerk and Bank PO are highly reputable. These posts are the dream jobs of many students today, and they work hard towards reaching their goal. In 2011, IBPS had given a big chance to all the aspiring bank probationary officers and bank clerks to exhibit their talent and intelligence. In 2012, all those banks who had participated in the exam conducted by IBPS are recruiting those candidates. The candidates who have cleared the IBPS exam will be appearing for an interview in 2012. It is only after clearing this interview that they will be recruited as bank po and bank clerks. These two posts are high profile posts and the entire reputation of the bank depends on them.

Bank PO
• The post of a bank probationary officer is highly coveted. A Bank PO has to manage all the vital functions in any bank. A bank cannot function without a good probationary officer.
• In order to gain entry as a Bank Probationary Officer (PO), one has to apply for the exams, conducted by the bank which is offering the post. This exam is followed by an interview which leads to the final recruitment.
• After the final recruitment is over, the selected candidates are taken under a probationary period. They are given basic work of the bank and many projects. It is their performance in these projects that decides their further position in the bank.
• Based on the IBPS exam conducted in 2011, many highly reputed banks are offering jobs for this post in 2012. Some of these banks are Allahabad bank, Corporation bank, Union bank of India and many more.

Bank Clerk:
• Every transaction in a bank from cashing a check to taking out a loan requires careful record keeping, and the function of a bank clerk is to manage this with efficiency.
• In order to run a bank smoothly, many clerks are put to work in different areas in a bank. Every bank has various clerks to deal with different things. Like there is a new account clerk for opening new bank accounts, exchange clerk who deals with international accounts, statement clerk manage the balance sheets etc.
• To be able to work as any clerk in a bank, one has to have basic qualities required for this job like good communication skills, computer literacy, mathematical expertise, basic skills in typing etc.
• Every year lakhs of bank clerk’s posts are offered and thousands of candidates are selected. However, it to clear the bank clerk exam is a challenging procedure and required preparation. IBPS had given this opportunity in 2011, and in 2012 many such candidates are being recruited.
