  • Dilligence and perseverance I have learned nto be key skills in the workplace.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Aon to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Have done work experience at Aon whilst completing my GCSE's and the team (NA Casualty) that took me then were incredibly motivated to help me in my career path. This appears to be a trait that follows Aon throughout the organisation. Everyone, no matter how senior will always set time aside to answer any questions or give advice with regards to personal development or tasks for completion.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aon?
  • Make sure to do as much work experience/research into the financial sector for which you are due to apply. From personal experience it is this that both pays dividents in turns of job success, but also helps to set you apart from others that have not ddone this work. This can also be a great way of deciding which companies suit your mentallity and desired working conditions.
