My day-to-day role includes lots of admin and filing and dealing with client requests and queries about insurance cover they are wishing to purchase.

We receive a good amount of support ranging from catch up sessions (1:1) and group revision sessions led by some of the people that work with the training providers.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

My understanding of the world mu job is based in (insurance) is definitely greater as a result of the qualification I am working towards.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Within my team at work we do go out relatively frequently, and when I started there were lots of networking events, but as I have been in the job longer this has reduced.

7/10

9a. Would you recommend WTW to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I feel very supported and successful in my role here and I enjoy what I do.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to WTW?

As corny as it sounds, be yourself. Everyone here is so different and that is something that makes everyday more intteresting.
