Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Bloomberg Insight Week offered a deep dive into the company’s operations, providing a hands-on experience with the Bloomberg Terminal and an understanding of roles in Analytics and Sales. Each day was structured to combine learning, practical application, and professional development.
Throughout the week, there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions, interact with Bloomberg professionals, and get a real feel for what it’s like to work in this dynamic environment.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Understanding Bloomberg's business and the roles available was both exciting and insightful. It was amazing to see how the company operates globally and the impact it has on the financial world. Learning about the different roles, especially in Analytics and Sales, gave me a clear idea of how I could contribute—whether it's helping clients with their needs or analyzing financial data.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
During the Bloomberg Insight Week, I gained several valuable skills. One of the most significant new skills I acquired was proficiency in using the Bloomberg Terminal. I learned how to navigate its features, analyze financial data, track market trends, and customize the Terminal to suit specific client needs. Additionally, I developed my customer service skills, learning how to effectively assist clients, respond to their inquiries, and provide tailored solutions. Alongside these new skills, I also improved my ability to work in a team. Through collaborative projects and group activities, I enhanced my communication skills and learned how to contribute more effectively to shared goals. Moreover, the fast-paced nature of the program helped me improve my multitasking abilities, allowing me to manage multiple tasks and responsibilities more efficiently. These skills will be invaluable in a professional setting, particularly in roles that involve client interaction and teamwork.
