In-house interview 1: Tell us about an enterprise product you have read about. Tell us about a recent financial news story you found interesting. Why would a company like IKEA use the BBG Terminal? I was given four different scenarios where clients had issues with the terminal and was asked to rank them in order of urgency. What do you think keeps Michael Bloomberg up at night? Why finance? Why Bloomberg? What makes a good salesperson? What makes a good service person? CV rundown - what would you say are your main strengths? Overall, the interview was very friendly and tested your social skills as well as knowledge about BBG products and markets. In-house interview 2: Why do countries peg their currency? What are the reasons for Denmark's currency peg? What are the reasons for Switzerland's currency peg? Why did Switzerland peg their currency against the Euro instead of any other currency? What events led to the surge in Swedish interest rate in 1992? Why did that affect the interest rate specifically? How do you price a currency future using expected negative interest rate in one of the countries? What four instruments do central banks have to control the currency fluctuation? Tell us about a macroeconomic trend you have identified. What risks is a company like IKEA exposed to? Tell us about a successful sale you made - what was the value for the customer and what was the value for your company? It has been said that humility is the most valuable trait for a person working in sales - tell us about a time you were humble in sales. The interview was focusing on financial concepts and products. No questions really concerning Bloomberg's products or their business specifically. A few questions regarding sales experience. Often very specific questions and follow-up questions to justify answer.
