Describe a time you found an error in your own work after you had submitted it.

What they are checking: Honesty and ownership of mistakes in client-facing work.

What interests you about consulting at Marsh People and Investments rather than working in HR at a single company?

What they are checking: A real reason for client-service work and the variety it brings.

Tell me about a project where you had to learn a new topic quickly. How did you do it?

What they are checking: Learning speed, since interns face unfamiliar country rules and benefit terms every week.

What they are checking: Ability to synthesize uneven inputs into consistent, client-ready writing.

You get an email from a colleague in another country with a question you cannot answer. What do you do?

Why are employee benefits like health coverage or retirement plans important to an employer's business, not just to employees?

What they are checking: Whether they connect benefits to attracting talent, cost control and risk rather than seeing them as perks.

How would you organize benefit data from 15 countries so a client could compare them quickly?

What they are checking: Practical data organization and the instinct to make comparisons fair and readable.
