Applied online through an employee referral after being told that these were especially helpful when applying to Bloomberg. In addition to the basics, the online application also included several short essay questions. I was invited to a phone interview with a representative from the Fixed Income team a few days later. The interviewer got right into his own questions and was willing and able to answer all questions regarding the position. He asked very few follow-up questions.

The phone interview was very friendly, quick and concise. They want to know the knowledge that you have about Bloomberg, their products and your motivations for the job. They want to know why you want a career in finance and how you see yourself in five years. The person that interviewed me was very nice and friendly.
