I have an unconventional question. I have been working for a year now in an area of finance that I am not interested in for the long term. I connected with an alumni of my fraternity a few months back, and he is allowing me to work remotely (I’m in another part of the country) for 5-10 hours a week. This experience will give me experience that will be more directly applicable and relevant to the jobs that I will be applying to in the future. It’s an internship where I help the MD with various tasks that help him make a better decision on managing the debt positions of a bank’s balance sheet. So if I were still in college, I would label this as a specialty-finance credit internship. My question is, should I label this an internship now that I’m out of college? Or should this be spun into a “consulting” gig?

Good point, that makes it sound like I have specialized expertise to offer when I'm really just learning. I feel like internship has a college-vibe to it that I dont want to give. I'm just really wondering if there's a better word that signals to a recruiter or reader something better that I am unaware of for such a situation. A resume is a marketing document after all.
