How to Become a Western Union Representative

Working as a Western Union representative puts you in close contact with customers.

Western Union deals with the transfer of money between both individuals and businesses. It works both domestically and internationally. Western Union representatives need strong customer-service skills and a basic understanding of money, and strong basic math skills help, too. Apply at a local Western Union branch or online.

Instructions

In Person

1. Prepare your resume.

2. Visit a local Western Union branch and ask if it is hiring. Local representative hiring is handled by the branches, not by the corporate office.

3. Ask for an employment application and fill it out on site.

4. Call the branch a week later and ask if your application has been reviewed and if it needs more information.

5. Go to your interview. Be positive about the customer-service role. Western Union values the connection between customers and the representatives, so demonstrate excitement about conversing with customers and helping them with their problems.
