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?

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?

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.
