Specific personality traits relevant to the work profile (required from graduates) include that they are emotionally stable (well-adjusted, calm, and resilient), independent-minded (self-determined and assertive) as well as exhibit high levels of self-control. The bank is very attentive to equitable selection practices in the South African work context and does not want to discriminate based on differences in educational and/or socio-economic background.
