Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Day to day I would sit in on internal and client calls, complete work for actuarial colleagues and work with fellow interns on a summer project.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was always given real work to be doing. This is work that is similar to what I would be doing as a grad.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

Really enjoyed the internship as 9 weeks long was enough time for me to get stuck in and get to know people. I visited 4 different Aon offices and did a variety of work. Sometimes workload was on the light side but there were lots of resources to look at when this happened.
