I found this job listing today on monster.com that I might be interested in following up.


Raddon Financial Group, (RFG) is a leader in providing financial and marketing analysis to the financial services industry. At RFG, we arm decision-makers in the financial industry with objective data gained through our innovative research techniques and unique database resources.
