Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The program included workshops that gave an insight into the work of the Global Data and Sales and Analytics Departments of Bloomberg with many opportunities to ask questions to the Bloomberg professionals, sessions about the use of Bloomberg Terminal, project time in a team of students and in general lots of fun activities.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
This gave me a better understanding of the work of the big company and the potential career growth opportunities within Bloomberg. While asking questions to the Bloomberg Professionals I found out more about the skills necessary for the position that I can specifically target while preparing for the job application.
