Launching in early 2014, The Compare Site is an online resource for comparison shoppers of financial products. We’re a young, start up atmosphere looking to add to our growing team. We’re looking for teachable individuals, either currently enrolled in school or just entering the work place with a background in English, Journalism, Communications or Finance to contribute to our research and content team. There are strong job prospects for those who complete the 3 to 6-month internship program.
