Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an actuarial consulting intern, I have been involved in a variety of tasks. Most of the time, my role has been calculating transfer values for members in pension schemes. On a day-to-day basis, I mainly use excel to do these calculations. I also worked on our Aon United Project weekly, throughout my internship. I interacted with many colleagues at different stages in their categories.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I had to carry out work for different client teams which needed to be sent out within a certain deadline so I was under time pressure and had the responsibility to complete the work at a high standard.
