Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am an intern, focusing on strategy consulting within the insurance industry. I work on client-facing projects, where we provide strategic recommendations for clients so that they can grow and improve as a business.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was able to contribute to client facing projects and in some instances meet the client. I was able to add meaning to the work at hand. Obviously I was given a lot of support and guidance, but I was given meaningful tasks.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My team fully supported me during my time here, and would keep in contact with me throughout the day to make sure I was on task. Everyone was also really open to just generally sharing any advice that they had for me. There were never any points where I was out of my depth and there was no-one that I could go to for help.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Aon
I would definitely research the wider industry, specifically to do with industry trends. Specifically, you should be able to show why not only Aon, but the specific stream of work. In my interview, I got a lot of questions related to "Why Consulting?".
