Bloomberg Global Data interview questions

I first had an interview at the career center at my school. About two weeks later, I was notified by email to come into the office for another round of interviews. My second round interview consisted of 2, 2 on 1 interviews that lasted about 45 minutes each. They mainly asked about my previous work experience, leadership positions, and why I feel I would be qualified to hold the job. Overall, it was not a very technical process. I would know current information about the market (they asked me about a few major transactions that were occurring at the time). The other thing I can recommend is to know about Bloomberg and what they do. Be able to explain this well, as they will almost definitely ask about this as well.

Do not waste your time for the division out in NJ. You will realize how your "managers" only got in when the market was doing well years ago. In other words, they truly do not know the markets or the financial industry. People who have degrees in everything but finance (comical at best) will try to talk down to you during the interview process or even during the interview show a complete lack of interest and contempt while you are there. I would recommend that if you realize that you know more than your future boss, you should leave and leave fast. For example, the genius that was interviewing me did not know what I was talking about and began to give an attitude and show a complete lack of interest simply because he realized he just embarrassed himself from his own question. My recommendation is that if you seek to get into the financial industry, go where the management actually knows finance and can cultivate your growth. Too many people there (managers) are there that are washed up and never truly made it in finance, aka, people who once did financial sales at Scottrade or alike...
