My father worked at a bank for 30 years.
Used to describe employment in a bank. The verb '勤める' (tsutomete) indicates steady employment, often with a sense of long-term service.
Avoid using '銀行で働く' interchangeably in all contexts. '勤める' implies long-term, stable employment, while '働く' is more general. Use '勤める' for formal or long-term roles.
Use '銀行で勤める' in formal contexts (e.g., resumes, job interviews). For casual settings, '銀行で働く' is more natural.
'銀行' (ginkō) means 'bank' and comes from Chinese '銀行' (yínháng), while '勤める' (tsutomete) means 'to work' or 'to serve'. The phrase combines these to describe employment at a bank.
This phrase is commonly used in resumes, interviews, and casual conversation to indicate one's place of employment. It emphasizes the institution rather than the specific role.
