Bloomberg Analytics/Sales interview questions

No assessment centres or team exercises, only face-to-face interviews after the video stage. All interviewers were extremely nice and genuinely interested. All questions asked were either based on my CV, or have been previously posted on Glassdoor, which is probably the best resourcefor preparation. Main point is articulating your motivation to work for the company and knowledge of the market environment, products, and competitors. At least perfunctory knowledge of the Terminal and some commands is also quite helpful. A lot of articles on Bloomberg and its history from the FT/Politico/Institutional Investor et al. are also recommended. Overall, the interviews were extremely easy, no hardcore knowledge of finance is required (I mean, if you say you're interested in finance and don't know what a CDS is, you may need a reality check). HRs are very efficient: feedback is given the following day. Plus you can help yourself in the pantry (yay, free snacks). 9,5/10 would interview again

There is already a lot of information on here about the video interview so I will not add to that. Use the information on here! Very useful. I was very prepared for my interview as all the questions had already been posted by another user and while I did not write a script or even come up with the answers in bullet points I had already thought about my answers to those questions. What I will do in my post is give some insight into the language ability test component since I did not find any information on here about that. My recruiter told me that there is nothing to prepare for it but had I prepared I probably would have made it through (I didn't). Obviously what you are asked all depends on the tester and to be fair they probably aren't expecting you to be on a native level but I think preparation would help, if anything to give you some confidence so you don't hesitate so much (if you are like me and are out of practice in your second language not having used it since leaving school quite a few years ago). I do believe that they are testing language ability rather than actual content of your answers but again, giving half decent answers would help with confidence and thus fluency. After this phone call you will have half an hour to find a news article (she asked for one in the area of the topic I suggested talking about) and produce a short summary of it in your tested language. Don't spend too long finding an article, I did that and didn't have time to produce a good summary (especially when I had to google translate very specific terms like IMF).
