Add your Bloomberg Address to your C.V.

When employers see an “@bloomberg.net” email address on a C.V., it signals that you know how to use the Bloomberg Terminal. 

Once you have set up your Bloomberg login, you can locate your Bloomberg email address.  

If you haven't already done so, go to Room S111 of the Sheppard Library and log into the machines: 

  • Double click on the green Bloomberg icon 
  • Click the blue “Create a New Login” text 
  • Click “Myself” radio button 
  • Click “No”
  • Enter your name 
  • It then gives you an automatically generated login name 
  • Enter your Mobile number: this number must be valid as it will be used to activate your account 
  • Enter your personal email address so that you can access BB emails on your smartphone 
  • Verify your account via SMS or email 
  • Create a password 
  • Your Bloomberg email address will be: loginname@bloomberg.net
