QUESTION 1: Please give a brief introduction of yourself and detail any future

career or studies you have planned.

ANSWER: I'm Rupal Sinha. I come from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. My father is a Central
Railways employee while my mother is a homemaker.
I chose Commerce with Mathematics as my field after 10th standard. I graduated with
B. Com Honours from Bhopal School of Social Science
(BSSS). I have also Mastered in Commerce with Finance as my specialization. I have
worked as an intern in a Chartered Accountancy firm
where I performed accounting transactions through Tally software, computed and
filed GST Returns for different kinds of assesses while
filing for Input Tax Credit and various deductions and exemptions available under
the CGST and SGST Acts.

During my Post Graduation in Finance and Internship, I was only able to gain
partial knowledge of finance. I still wanted to learn more
about Investment banking, and Merchant Banking, and Portfolio Management, so I
decided to gather some more knowledge before going for any
work experience.

I wanted to better understand all the aspects of a business and all its ins and
outs. And I also wanted to have a better idea of the
analytics and operations areas of businesses apart from the financial side of them
which I’m already aware of. So that I have a better
grasp of the internal workings of a business and have a better outlook to tackle
any problem I’m presented with.

QUESTION 2: What is your career aspiration?

ANSWER: I am drawn toward subjects like Financial Management and Financial Markets.
The topics of financial planning about which source of
funds to select and why and prevalent changes in financial markets are all things
that interest me.

I am working towards becoming a customer relationship manager. I like all the

excitement about networking and cultivating new leads, being
a better and the satisfaction of generating sales for the company. I want to be
personally involved in dealing with the clients as the
face of the company.

QUESTION 3: What do you know about Bloomberg's products and services, and why are
you interested in our company?

ANSWER: I know that Bloomberg through its terminal offers real-time news feeds, and
financial data and business insight to various
companies, governments, businesses, universities and high-net-worth individuals...
basically to its users. It provides a global hub for
these users to communicate. And it also provides different trading tools to
developers and front office players, that help in maintaining
transparency in the financial markets.

QUESTION 4: Please describe your understanding of this role and your relevant
skillsets.

ANSWER: I believe in this role as an Analytics and sales intern, I'll get to
interact with clients, take part in sales campaigns, promote
product features, and prospect for new business. I believe I'll get to provide
effective solutions to incoming client queries.

Time management, Easily able to follow stringent deadlines: Recently, just before
my exams, a Science and Commerce exhibition was arranged
where I was asked to convince fellow students to participate and deliver quality
submissions within two weeks while also handling the
logistics of the event. I was able to balance my exams as well as the
responsibility of the exhibition in a very short deadline.

Networking: I am able to talk and befriend people of diverse backgrounds which

helps me stay connected with them and have a better grasp
of what is happening all around.

Problem Solving mindset: whenever I am presented with a problem, I try my best to

come up with a solution. During my internship, our firm
shifted to a new premise but clients constantly went to the old premise and the
meetings ended up getting late. While we updated
the new address on the site and put up a message on the old premise location, time
still got wasted. So, I designed a notice about the
location change with the new location embedded that I started attaching to every
client who got scheduled to meet.

Good in dealing with stress: I am able to handle stressful situations with a calm
and collected mind. During my under graduation, I had
to undergo an operation and joined my batchmates very late in various year-end
projects, I had to catch up with months of classes and
pending work in a span of days but was able to deliver quality results and good
grades in my assignments

QUESTION 5: Tell us about a time you faced a difficult situation and how you
overcame it.

ANSWER: During my career, as I was in midst of giving my Chartered Accountant

papers, I fell ill and had to be taken for an emergency
operation just before my exams. As a result, I could not perform well in my exam
and lost a full year’s worth of hard work. I was not
presented with many choices except to wait for the next year.
I was able to overcome this by taking steps one at a time. I first concentrated on
getting back in health and then started with
re-assessing the situation and my goals. I was able to conclude at the right time
that I wanted to work on an MBA rather than still
continue with the journey of Chartered Accountancy as the timeline for set goals
had already passed due to the situations created. I set
new goals and planned for them, and I was able to achieve these set goals by
following my plans.

QUESTION 6: Please talk us through an area of the financial markets that you are
passionate about and why (please give examples and
details).

ANSWER: I like the money market because it is a very useful mechanism for the
short-term demand-supply equilibrium. It is Safer and More
Liquid Than Bonds, and provide Better Yields Than Deposit Accounts, money market
funds are not subject to market timing restrictions,
which means they can be bought or sold at any time. Many brokerage accounts also
provide check-writing privileges and offer same-day
settlements. money market funds have no minimum investment or transaction fees to
buy or sell. Money market funds are fixed-income mutual
funds that invest in debt securities with short maturities and minimal credit risk.
This makes them very attractive.
