Ambassador Testimonial: Álvaro Llueca

I first heard about the BAT through other students as well

as posters that I saw around campus at my university. Since

I keenly follow the stock markets and I have been thinking

about a career in Investment Banking, I thought that taking

the BAT would be very useful to kick-start my career.

I have also always been interested in a career at Bloomberg

as I find the unique culture and values of the company truly

inspiring.

I felt that becoming a BAT ambassador is the best way to

learn more about the company and to get unique insights

into different career paths employees could take, thereby

positioning myself perfectly for a future career at

Bloomberg.

I also realized that as a BAT Campus Ambassador, I could

network with current and future professionals working in

the financial services industry and start building myself a

professional network.

“The world belongs to those who see its potential.”

Álvaro Llueca

Bloomberg BAT Ambassador 2012/13

“I would strongly encourage people from all

universities and countries to take on the

challenge of being a BAT ambassador at their

university. Participating in the program truly

provides you with a huge amount of

opportunities!”

I participated in the 2013 International BAT Team

Challenge and our team was called the “BATcitizens”.

Working with my team has been a great experience and

getting support and motivation from other members of

the team was really helpful, especially when I first started

and was not sure how to go about being successful.

From my personal experience I would say the best way to

promote the BAT is by talking directly to as many

students as possible by giving presentations at the

beginning or the end of a lecture. I built myself a network

on campus and asked influential society members as well

as student representatives to post about the BAT on

Facebook and to send an e-mail to their contacts.

And finally, an obvious but frequently overlooked trick is

to simply tell all your friends to take the BAT and ask

them to help you by recommending it to other people,

even if they are not studying at your university!

“Becoming a BAT ambassador is a

great way to promote yourself and it

definitely enhances your

presentation and social skills.”

My story: how I got involved

Page 10: Γραφειο Διασυνδεσης Πανεπιστημιου Πατρων · Bloomberg Professional Service and the Bloomberg Aptitude Test Training will be provided on all topics

I heard about the BAT through my Faculty website and I

decided to participate to broaden my opportunities since

I’ve always been interested in an international career –

after all, you have nothing to lose when you participate!

I was contacted by Bloomberg Institute to participate in

the ambassador programme a year after I took the BAT. I

immediately took on the challenge because I wanted to

try something different, something that would open new

doors for me and give me the opportunity to develop

skills that will significantly enhance my employability.

Participating in the programme helped me in many ways. I

built strong relationships at my universities with key

faculty members which has helped my academic

prospects. By fulfilling my responsibilities as a BAT

Ambassador I’ve also been able to build my CV by adding

competencies like leadership and project management

experience, which has helped my professional prospects.

I would say that overall the main advantage was

undoubtedly working with amazing people from

Bloomberg Institute and bringing something useful and

worthwhile to my peers.

“I would recommend the programme

without hesitation.”

I took part in the 2013 International Team Challenge

where I was working in a team with ambassadors

from Denmark, Slovenia, Bulgaria, the UK and

Finland! Our team name was “Excelsior” and this was

our team logo:

Working in such an international team was definitely

a once in a lifetime opportunity!

If you ask me for my recipe of success…I would say

“Word-of-Mouth”. I made sure that EVERYONE at my

University knew about the BAT and I made every BAT

session THE go-to event of the month. I once even

managed to get 5 new registrants during a coffee

break. That’s how thing are done in Croatia – I just

adapted

Ambassador Testimonial: Kai Mok

University of Newcastle, United

Kingdom

My name is Kai and I am the Bloomberg BAT Campus

Ambassador at the University of Newcastle for the

academic year 2013-2014!

I enjoy the program because it has offered me the chance

to partake in creative marketing campaigns and sharpen

my communication skills. It is challenging to cramp the

various benefits of the BAT into a 1 minute elevator pitch,

but as always – practice makes perfect! Being a BAT

Ambassador has helped me structure my arguments

comprehensively and concisely – a skill I will carry

forward into my future career!

I approached by duties as a BAT ambassador

very strategically and started by drafting a

hit list of “high probability & high potential” individuals

and spoke to them all personally.

In order to build strong relationships with key

stakeholders on campus I arranged various meetings with

members of the University’s communications team and

during these meetings I explained the value of the BAT

and the competitive advantage it provides students with. I

emphasized that students from the University of

Newcastle would be missing out if they did not get the

opportunity to participate as all other universities in the

UK already regularly offer the BAT on campus.

What really made my campaign successful was the fact

that I managed to identify a motivated and enthusiastic

Student Experience Officer who immediately understood

the benefits of the BAT and actively helped to promote

my sessions. Finding support on campus can be difficult,

so you have to be perseverant and resourceful!

“My recommendation to any future

ambassador would be to maintain good

relations with key personnel in your school

and not to be shy when engaging in face to

face meetings.”

Ambassador Testimonial: Amy Price

Cardiff University, United Kingdom

The programme has developed my organisational skills as

I was managing the whole process entirely on my own. It

has also taught me how to transform creative ideas into

strategic actions. The programme allows you to network

with interesting people from around the world; both at

events and online via Email Facebook and other social

networking sites.

I would recommend the programme to anyone that

wants something different on your CV; it will definitely

make you stand out because there are so many projects

you can get involved with through the programme. If

you're part of the winning team in the International Team

Challenge, you could even be rewarded with an all-

expenses paid trip to London to attend the event of the

year: B*Awarded!

My favourite part of the programme has been being given

the opportunity to meet a range of different people; not

just at Bloomberg but also within my international team,

with other members being from Germany, Bulgaria and

many others!

My story: how I got involved

I first heard about the BAT through the Career Services department

on Campus and wanted to take it because I thought it would be

something different to put on my CV. Everyone is always saying

that top marks at university are no longer enough to stand out, so

being able to highlight my competitive strengths via my BAT scores

is incredibly valuable.

After taking the BAT I was contacted asking if I would like to

interview for the Bloomberg Campus Ambassador role.

I jumped at the chance to get involved with something that

would not only benefit my skills and CV but also other students

on Campus because many didn't even know the test existed!

Facebook is one of the best ways of spreading the

message that the BAT is happening on Campus. I also

spoke to as many people as possible, giving my personal

honest opinion of the benefits of taking the test to

increase participation numbers. Through Facebook and

face-to-face interactions I created a real buzz about the

test and sessions at Cardiff are always fully booked within

days of posting the test online!

I think one of my biggest successes has been seeing the

numbers of test takers increase so significantly and

receiving such overwhelmingly positive feedback. With

nearly 100% wanting to take the next test, I can tell that I

have definitely made a difference on campus, which is a

great achievement personally and professionally!

Ambassador

“I would recommend the programme to

anyone who wants something different

on their CV – it will definitely make you

stand out!”

“My target for the next academic year is to

be able to reach out to all the different

academic schools and show non- Business

School students that they can also benefit

from taking the test.”

Ambassador Testimonial: Kevin Hellegård Nielsen

Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

Since the BAT was not offered at my university’s or any

other school near me before I introduced it, I didn't hear

about the BAT until I was asked to join the ambassador

program….So I did some research and realized that the

BAT is a truly unique opportunity for students and I really

wanted to take it myself.

The BAT allows you to assess yourself against a global

peer group in a more practical manner than most exams

at school would allow you to. Furthermore, you can gain

access to a wide range of top multinational firms as well

as smaller asset management firms or hedge funds who

only recruit once every two years!

Now on top of all those benefits, it is also free of charge

to participate, so I recognized that it is a MUST to make

the BAT available on my campus.

“I knew that by being part of the BAT

Ambassador Program I could add

incredible value to my CV. “

I participated in the 2013 International Team Challenge and

my colleague and I were appointed Team Leaders of a group

of 10 ambassadors from universities around Europe. We had

ambassadors from Slovenia, the UK, Bulgaria, Finland and

Croatia on our team – a truly international group of people!

As Team Leaders it was our responsibility to ensure all

members of our team stayed motivated throughout the

challenge and had the opportunity to share ideas and come

up with strategies together.

It was a very enriching experience and I hope to stay in touch

with the members of our team in the future, both in a

personal and professional context.

I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who

wants to get a head-start in their career, get to know some

great people and learn some new skills.

Kevin Hellegård Nielsen

Bloomberg BAT Ambassador 2012-2013

I did not find the programme too time consuming as I

had full control over when to run sessions which meant

I could avoid sessions during the exam time to ensure I

could focus 100% on my studies.

By working in a team of two on campus we also split the

workload evenly, hence reducing the time investment

required per person.

“Having a company like Bloomberg on my CV

is a unique opportunity since I am keen to

pursue a career in finance, and Bloomberg is

definitely a household name in the Finance

sector. “
