Overview of Role

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

My role as a junior member of the client team is mostly monitoring and reporting of the schemes as well as particular jobs as and when they come. Excel is a must. Client work is limited until you become more senior but you get work on preparing for the meetings.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, most tasks were delegated to me and I was a self-sufficient member of my teams. I did very similar work to other junior members of the client teams.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

It has given me a much deeper understanding of investment terms and asset classes, as well as the pension schemes and investment strategy for them. It gives a lot of transferable skills I imagine. You build familiarity with Excel and powerpoint and how to use them in a corporate environment.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

One of the biggest benefits of Aon is how open and welcoming people are. Even senior consultants are often happy to have a quick chat with you and asking questions and looking for advice is specifically recommended and as such is very good.
