Application Advice:
Marsh's application process is very focused on personality and how well you network with others so it's important to come across as confident and comfortable in front of the assessors, demonstrating that you have the right soft skills for the job.
Interview Advice:
Must give a presentation in both assessments days. Team challenges in the first and an interview with two senior marsh officials, a HR person and a Pareto person in the second. There are no maths challenges until the final assessment.
Graduate broker, Construction at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Be genuine and engaged in questions. Make it as unique as possible - questions like 'why insurance' or 'why Marsh' may sound generic but if you can put a personal spin on it then you will come across well. Equally make sure you ask thoughtful questions about Marsh - senior management are very aware about the shortfalls of Marsh as an employer (as well as the benefits). Showing recognition for this demonstrates that you are thoughtful and have made a full evaluation of Marsh for your career.
Interview Advice:
Be authentic and enthusiastic in why you want to work in insurance and for Marsh - if you can tailor them to your personality/objectives all the better. Try to avoid being too loud and attention seeking in the assessment days, this doesn't come across well and the assessors are expert at seeing through this. Don't be backward and get involved where you can - 'be yourself' is overused but it really does apply here.

Client Advisor, Real Estate at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Find experience. The market is quite accessible to gain experience, be that through working in a call centre in the Summer or looking into your school leavers network to see who currently works in the industry. This will really help you understand the industry which will set you apart at application time. Most people don't start out wanting to go into insurance so if you can show some drive to move into it with proven experience or research your application will only be strengthened.
Interview Advice:
Be yourself. It's a cliché, however a lot of the interview and assessment centre is based around how you can network. Don't be frightened by the word "networking" as it is effectively just talking to people. If you are yourself you will come off much more genuinely enthusiastic than falsely saying what you think they want to hear.
Client Advisor, National Corporate Practice at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Learn everything that you can about Marsh. Be yourself throughout the process and just be as prepared as possible when going into the interview. When it gets to the assessment day stages also make sure you have fun with it.
The scheme is non-rotational and also be prepared for long days due to studying for the Acii.
Be prepared to not be a broker. If that is what you are applying to do, specify that.
Interview Advice:
Be prepared with the regular competency questions but also be prepared for some curveballs. Learn your CV inside out so DON'T lie or embellish on it.
You are also asked about your interests outside of university/current job.

Application Advice:
Make your application fit together with the skills you have and the requirements of the job. Emphasise teamwork ability, people skills, professionalism and work ethic. Relax and be yourself at least a bit for the phone interviews. Practice for the online tests so you know what to expect.
Interview Advice:
Read up about the business and its core values - the greater good, business transparency, ethics. Read about current events and consider how insurance may have been involved or affected (i.e. floods in Cumbria, falling price of oil). Speak in a measured way for your presentation and don't be afraid to consider your answers carefully in the interview. They may ask you for a weakness or a 'time you were wrong about something' - think of a good answer. Focus on what makes you unique and different - everyone has a good degree but they want to know about your skills and personality.

Application Advice:
Just be yourself. Read up about Insurance but you don't need to have lots of prior knowledge to get the job.

Be honest. Say if you don't know the answer to the question. If you get to the final assessment centre then bring some food with you, I didn't think there was enough.

Graduate Broker, at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Show your personality and do not be afraid to demonstrate it to stand out. Prepare for the telephone interviews and be prepared for a call out of the blue once you have submitted your application form.
Interview Advice:
Have a strong answer prepared for why you want to work in the industry, not just why Marsh. Try and take a new angle to the presentation questions asked of you in the face to face sessions. If you do not know the answer to a question admit that this is the case rather than trying to make up an answer - people who try and make up responses to factual questions do not reach the face to face rounds.

Application Advice:
Ensure that you fully research the industry and have some clear ideas on where within the company you would like to be placed, or the skills that you would like to develop in order to ensure that you are placed in a business unit which suits you well and will help you to achieve what you hope for.
Interview Advice:
Ensure that you are yourself; this is a people led business and so you will be matched to an extent with a business unit based on the version of yourself that you prefer. The scheme will therefore only work if you have been honest in your approach so you can be matched well.
Prepare a good hook for the question on the most interesting thing about you and make sure that it is actually a fact about you. As with most applications you also need to ensure that you do your research and demonstrate confidence, but also a supportive attitude in the group activities.

Broker, at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Know about Marsh and what Marsh does. Know the IGNITE principles. Know about current affairs and show an interest in working at Marsh. Don't argue with team mates at the assessment day. Perhaps contact some people in the insurance industry to find out about what it's like to work in insurance and who the key players are.
Interview Advice:
They don't care about how much knowledge you have in insurance. Just know the difference between an underwriter and a broker. Be friendly and open, ask lots of questions and know how to socialise/network.
Broker, Bowring Marsh – Casualty at MarshRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Research the company and it's ethics, and ethos and business aims to be able to talk eloquently why you want to work there, and focus on why your skills would make you a great candidate who deserves to work in a company like Marsh. Do some practices for the online tests which are often available via your university careers centre. Make sure to have basic business knowledge: ROI, who the chancellor of the exchequer is etc... When writing about your skills, use examples and why that skill makes you a good candidate.
Interview Advice:
Think about your presentation and communication and focus on being clear and calm in your individual presentations. Make sure to prepare for the Pareto (the recruiters) assessment centres, which centre around the ability to work as part of a team - making your ideas are heard while not overly dominating, working as a whole group for the good of everyone, and thinking laterally. Perhaps be prepared to be a little more assertive than you usually are to ensure you are not ignored by others. The centres use classic psychological games and group exercises so read about some of those online. But, as much as the above is important - be yourself and remember what makes you unique and interesting to them.

100% be yourself. The recruitment firm will see through any attempt to pull the wool over their eyes.
Enthusiasm is absolutely paramount, always appear to be enjoying yourself or at least to be getting "stuck in" in every task.
Bear in mind though that you should ensure that you encorporate others, especially those who may be naturally inclined to take a quieter role in a group discussion.

Similar as above, the interviewers are not looking for you to have a detailed knowledge of insurance (although background knowledge is of course a requirement) they are looking for your enthusiasm, eagerness to learn and your ability to be flexible and adaptable in a team environment.
