Bank Examiner - Massachusetts

THIS IS NOT AN INTERNSHIP - it is an opportunity for someone who has or soon will have a BS degree.  Bank Examiners learn a great deal about the banks that they examine.  This can lead to a great career in bank examination or other areas of financial services.  I encourage May 2014 grads to consider applying for this and also any alumni who are looking for a job.  I was an bank examiner early in my career and remember how the job was a great learning experience and a stepping stone.  I was a federal bank examiner and this is a state level job but there are many similarities.  Here is the link to learn more and to apply (Professor Michael Griffin)
