Practice real questions and get instant feedback before you sit down with Aviva.
Q: Interview questions were based around Aviva's 4 core values. Can you give examples that show them?
A: Prepare one short story for each value using the STAR structure (situation, task, action, result). Pick real examples from past roles where your behaviour matched the value, and end each with the outcome.
Q: Tell us about yourself and what you know about life insurance.
A: Give a tight 60-second summary of your background linked to the role, then show basic literacy on life insurance: term versus whole-of-life cover, premiums, and how a policy protects a customer's family.
Q: General questions related to sales.
A: Walk through how you qualify a customer's needs, handle objections calmly, and close with a clear next step. Use a real example where you turned a hesitant customer into a sale.
Q: Questions about my education, my family, and my previous experience.
A: Keep personal answers brief and professional, then pivot to your track record: team size managed, targets hit, and how you coached under-performers back to goal.
