For those of you who are interested in the wonderful world of finance and wish to obtain successful careers in Wall Street, come check out our new Bloomberg terminal and participate in its certification program through Bloomberg’s essential exams. These exams cover topics such as Equities, Fixed Income, FX, and Commodities. After viewing each video you will be eligible to take the exams. Bloomberg is a great skill to have, especially in the finance world. This is a great resume booster since most finance firms require a basic knowledge of financial technology from their first year analyst.

Know that you will need at least 75% on each exam to receive acknowledgement from Bloomberg.  We hope you find this useful and we encourage you to stop in room 1210 of the Harold B. Lee library to use our newest Bloomberg. For more information feel free to browse through our website at lib.byu.edu/business or stop in room 1210 of the HBLL for more information.
