I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
The HR contact was quick to get back to me to set up an interview after having applied online. I applied for a recent-grad program at Bloomberg and there was a specific team dedicated to hiring people right out of college. While the process was fast and easy, the person on the phone was rude and so obviously eating lunch/CHEWING while speaking with me. I did not enjoy the lack of professionalism. I also asked a few questions in which she found stupid as she scoffed a few times and threw me some attitude.

Question 1
They asked me a few things about Bloomberg, the news, which recent event in the financial world I took notice of, how my abilities would support Bloomberg sales and what I know about data/analytics..
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
