Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In Sales, our job was to call clients about different functionalities on the Bloomberg Terminal. Our aim was to ensure clients were getting the most out of their Terminal, and had an overall positive experience of usage.
In Analytics, we had lots of classroom-style learning sessions about the financial markets, the Terminal, and other Bloomberg's offerings. We were also involved in product deployment calls and training on how to answer client helpdesk queries.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a high level of responsibility, especially in Sales. From the start, I had the opportunity to engage with clients of various seniority levels, both over the phone and in client meetings. This responsibility allowed me to gain practical experience in real-world situations, contributing to my understanding of financial market player types and their workflows.
