Bloomberg!! ...I keep trying to apply for journalism jobs but never get through! Either you need some ridiculously high amount of language skills... English, French, Spanish AND german!! ...or all they do is redirect you to their sales teams... Who wants to work in Sales!?!?!!
Can anyone help me regarding journolism jobs here?!

Does anyone know how the Bloomberg application process works? The website doesn't explain it fully and I tried calling HR but couldn't get through in the end.
I'm interested in some of the internships and my queries in particular are:
- Do I just need to upload a CV and cover letter?
- Can I apply for two different positions at once?
- When do the 'winter internships' normally start? The website doesn't give dates.
- Is there a deadline?
- What happens after I've submitted my documents and details?
Any help from those with experience will be greatly appreciated.

Bloomberg is super-competitive to get into. It's quite a good company to work for, in terms of training, social life and so on. I don't think you need a rediculous amount of language skills, but it's hard to deny that language skills are an attractive attribute.
The best way to start in journalism is through work experience; it's such a tough market to get into that you need the contacts, and you need to impress people, get experience and references that count. If you're any good, you won't have a problem after that getting in where you like.
