Question 1
Why Bloomberg? Walk me through your resume. Pretend you are my sales agent, find me an ideal vacation.
Hirevue, Superday, In person. Hirevue was pretty standard and the superday was hard, but they give you all of the info you need to prepare. I prepared well for everything besides the sales role play, and that's where I messed up. Everything else is exactly how they describe it.
