Not knowing what to do for my career blog and with the due date approaching quickly, I had a limited option of what to do and where to go. With not many options, I was at first stuck. However, having heard of the Bloomberg workshop from a few of my classmates, I decided to go and check it out myself to see what it is all about. This certain workshop itself cost $24,000. With only a limited number of computers for this workshop, specifically 11, I was able to find myself one sharing it with another classmate. In front of us were 2 computers side by side. Having 2 computers allowed us to see the changes in stocks for many companies much easier as it expanded on both screens. Along with the computer, there was a special keyboard which I have never seen before because certain keys were highlights with certain colors. The instructor showed and taught us how to read a company’s data through their stocks and graphs. This somehow caught my attention and I found interest in this workshop because this workshop allows me to be able to search for a company’s history and what they did to get their earnings. This workshop prepares me to what is to come in the future for I am to find a career in finance. This allows me to have a certain idea of how revenue works and what goes on. Before this workshop, I paid no mind to stocks and revenue reports because I never understood it. After going to the Bloomberg workshop, I can now somewhat understand stocks, revenue reports, and their cause. I have more of a heads up on what is to come and this workshop has made it easier for me when searching for my career.
