The strongest applications are well-researched, authentic and tailored to the opportunity. Here are some tips to help you make a positive impression throughout the recruitment process.

Demonstrate Commercial Awareness

Take time to understand Aon's business, our clients and the industries we operate in. Consider how current economic, technological, environmental and geopolitical developments could impact organisations and the challenges they face.

We aren't expecting you to be an industry expert, but we do want to see curiosity, a willingness to learn and an interest in the world around you.

Understand Your Motivation

Research both Aon and the role you're applying for. Be prepared to explain why you're interested in the opportunity, what attracts you to the business area and how the role aligns with your skills, interests and long-term career goals.

We encourage candidates to submit one application per recruitment cycle, so it's important to focus on the opportunity that genuinely excites you most.

Bring Your Skills to Life

Rather than simply telling us you are a strong communicator or work well in a team, use examples to demonstrate it.

Think about situations from education, part-time jobs, volunteering, sports, societies or other experiences where you've developed and applied relevant skills. The strongest examples are often the most specific and authentic.

Research Aon Before You Apply

Spend time exploring our website, learning about our business areas and understanding what we do for our clients.

The more familiar you are with Aon, the easier it will be to explain why you want to join us and how the opportunity fits your future aspirations.

Prepare for Every Stage

Each stage of the recruitment process is an opportunity to demonstrate your potential. Take time to review the information provided, understand what is being assessed and prepare thoroughly.

Good preparation will help you feel more confident and perform at your best throughout the process.

Be Yourself

We're interested in your experiences, motivations and potential. Focus on providing genuine examples and authentic answers that reflect your own skills and achievements.

We want to understand what makes you unique and how you could contribute to Aon, so don't be afraid to let your personality come through.
