      Financial Product Sales and Analytics Interview

      Oct 29, 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I applies online and recieived an answer after two days that invited me to a telephone interview. The telephne interview lasted 20 minutes and as all the others have stated the interviewer bombards you with questions. You will not panick as long as you keep concentrated and if you have researched the questions. You have to prepare an answer in "Why Bllomberg?". They will insist on that if they won't like your answer. The interviewer also asked me how would I sell a Bloomberg terminal to a firm such as BMW. Anyway, all questions are mentioned in this site, all you need is to prepare your answers. I would suggest you research it a lot. I had the telephone interview in the morning and before 8 pm I received an email inviting me on a f2f interview. As you know the interview starts with 1/2 hour shadowing. This means you are going to watch a guy work in the helpdesk for 30 minutes. The guy was very friendly and willing to answer any question while at the same time you can get an idea about the environmet and the culture at Bloomberg which is really awesome. After that a team leader of the analytics came to pick me and we moved to a specific office where the interview was gonna be held. The problem is we waited too long for the team leader of the sales dept. to appear and we the analytics guy decided to start the interview on his own. The first question was: "I see in your CV that you have done many things and I really like you but there is one problem..You will get bored".. I think that was a trick question and the point is to persuade the interviewer that you want the job very much and you won't get bored anyway. Sometime later the other interviewer arrived. and they started asking about scenario questions such as "where would you sell a terminal if you only had one choice..either to an experience 60 year old broker who does not use any software information provider or to a 30 year old manager who uses factset or reuters". I answered the 30 year old guy because a 60 year old succesful broker is very difficult to change his mind and point of view. Another scenario question was" How would you sell a bloomberg terminal to a shipping company while the manager who picks up the phone is really urgent" I think that the key here is to act like you actually speak on the phone. I did not do it and I believe that was the footstep to my doom. I would suggest that you should go like" Hello Mr. Stevens, how are you today?....." Bearing in mind that the manager is urgent you shouls ask "Are you convenient to talk right now?" And then try to arrange a date and time where you could inform him about your offer i detail. Overall you have to act like a salesman. A last question was to list the 4 skills that a salesman must possess.
