Who’s Hiring in Finance?

By: CareerAlley
Given all that’s gone on in Financial Services in 2008 my first guess would be that no one is hiring in Finance. In reality, there are jobs out there if you are flexible and diligent.

Latest story: A hiring manager I am working with in medical sales asked for a completed job application, rather than just a resume. The job is a 65 -75k base, with another 45k up for grabs in commissions. Nothing to sneeze at, surely.
