Hi all! Happy 2007!
I'm not sure whether it's the right place to turn to. But here seems to have a lot of eager helping-hands regarding job-hunting.
Well, I'm not an expat. And am now working as an management trainee in a airline caterer in HK. Just find out that the job may not have suited me in several aspects, and looking actively for alternatives. What caught my eyes recently is an entry position in Bloomberg, the research contribution analyst.
Just want to know more about the working environment of Bloomberg, the people there, and most important of all, what an entry level analyst is expected to do. The job ad. states pretty general things like "detail-minded", "good team-player", "good technical aptitude and PC skills", etc. I look for more substantial descriptions on that.
I really wanna know if I'm suitable to apply for this job, since I was a psych. major in a local uni. (one of the top three) with no prior training in finance whatsoever. My knowledge of the markets mainly comes from reading newspaper and watching bloomberg programmes. I'm also introduced to materials of CFA Level 1 by friedns working in IB. I regard my English standard to be above average in HK, but not necessarily reaching the native-speaker level. I went on exchange to NZ for a year, so generally, my conversation skills are not poor.
That will be great if anyone working in Bloomberg can shed some lights on my queries. Alternatively,I'd also be happy to be introduced to any websites or forums regarding Bloomberg and/or other financial news agents!
Millions of thanks in advance!
