Employers
Loan underwriters are employed by commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, and loan processing companies. Although jobs are found throughout the country, opportunities are strongest in large metropolitan areas.
Starting Out
The best way to learn about job openings is to visit the Web sites of banks, mortgage companies, credit unions, and related employers. At many sites, you can apply for jobs. Additionally, the National Association of Mortgage Underwriters offers job listings on its Web site, http://www.mortgageunderwriterjobs.org. Other job-search strategies include networking at career fairs and online, using the resources of one’s high school or college career center, or working your way into the industry by first landing a job as a bank teller, customer service representative, or loan processor.
