txaggie11- People with sensitive knowledge about bank closures are likely to go through a security process to ensure that they are trustworthy individuals and will not release sensitive information prior to an announcement. I didn't see any detailed information on the FDIC career websites, but your question indicates you're looking for employment with private companies or banks and not the FDIC. If that's correct, I would try reaching out to the HR specialists at the companies that you are interested in working for. If you have questions about a position with the FDIC, you can contact their Human Resources department as well.
