Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
A range of both administrative tasks, shadowing of brokers and my own work to be carried out. Lots of opportunities for F2F meetings to learn about the business and other sectors within Aon. Ability to go to client/underwriter events and expand my own network, whilst also being exposed to the world of corporate entertainment.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
On certain tasks I was given complete responsibility but this seemed to be the more administrative of them. On complex tasks that required previous knowledge I would often shadow.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
