Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is based in GTRF (global trade and receivable finance) Client Service team. The main task is to help solve the queries customers have regarding their HSBC products. As an intern with limited access, I'm much involved in admin stuff, such as sorting the inbox and summarizing data.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given full responsibility on a few individual tasks, but when it comes to those involving restricted customer information, I had limited access which is also understandable.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
