Mention your agricultural knowledge if you have it, since FNB specifically asks for agric qualification or experience. Make sure your FAIS RE5 status is clearly visible on your CV. Before your interview, think about how you would grow a client portfolio in the Pietermaritzburg area and be ready to talk through how you assess credit applications. Brush up on the National Credit Act basics too. Also remember that a credit record check is part of the process, so know where you stand.
