Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The week provided an amazing insight into the Analytics and Sales and Global Data departments at Bloomberg.
The days were filled with informative department presentations, independent time to work on an assigned group project, interactive activities such as the Phantom chat task, Toastmaster sessions to help improve presenting skills and Q and A sessions with the team leaders.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I thoroughly enjoyed the insight at Bloomberg - there was a great variety of sessions each day and I learned a lot about the company as well as the industry as a whole
The people were always happy to help and were really informative
The virtual nature of the insight did mean that it was difficult to network with others and so sometimes I was a little disengaged
The Phantom chat task was really enjoyable

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bloomberg
Don't worry too much about having a "financial background"
Make sure to be genuine, engaging and show a strong interest for the company, it's values and the financial markets.
The virtual interview is quite tricky (more so than the face-to-face interview) as it's all automated - make sure you know the company and role really well and be prepared to think on your feet a little
