SALES AND ANALYTICS SUMMER INTERNSHIP

I SUBMITTED AN ONLINE APPLICATION THAT ONLY REQUIRED A RESUME AND A FEW BRIEF QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED. THERE WAS NO COVER LETTER REQUIREMENT.

THE POSTING REQUESTED INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE FLUENT IN 2 LANGUAGES. I AM, AND I HAVE BANKING EXPERIENCE.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL TWO DAYS AFTER REQUESTING MY PHONE NUMBER AND A DATE AND TIME FOR A 15 MINUTE PHONE INTERVIEW.

ON THE MORNING OF MY INTERVIEW, THE CALL CAME ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATE AND LASTED 10 MINUTES.

THE INTERVIEWER HAD ME GO THROUGH MY RESUME, AND ASKED WHY I APPLIED FOR THE POSITION, AND WHAT ABOUT SALES APPEALED TO ME.

SHE SAID THAT THE INTERNSHIP WAS A PIPELINE FOR FULL TIME HIRES THE FOLLOWING SUMMER WHERE THE ENTRY LEVEL JOB IS BEHIND A SCREEN ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BLOOMBERG TERMINAL. FROM THERE, EMPLOYEES MOVE TO SALES WHERE THEY TRAVEL 60% OF THE TIME AND WORK IN EITHER EQUITIES, FIXED INCOME, OR COMMODITIES.

I RECEIVED A TURNDOWN EMAIL 3 DAYS LATER WISHING ME THE BEST OF LUCK.
