Bloomberg Aptitude Test

Just saw this on one of the ads here. Is this useful? Do employers value this test?

I just went through some sample questions and they were pretty easy. Website said it was free in some countries (eg. UK, Hong Kong). I might do it if it is free in Canada.

Vandelay has seen some good returns from it apparently…

^ thanks for the plug.

Yeah, I took it a year and a half ago back when it was on-campus only. Scored 94th percentile. Have gotten ~9 ish nibbles from employers through the site since then, but many of the jobs are surprsingly wanting years of experience, which I do not have.

I have it on my resume now. I think it’s worth the time. It’s obviously not going to magically get you a job, but I think it is nice to be able to provide a quantitative percentile that can attest a little bit to your finance knowledge. It’s certainly not going to hurt. it is also nice to know how you stack up to some of your peers imo.

Well said.

From what I understand, it supercharges your career.
