Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is to handle invoicing queries for the support we provide. This involves scouring the query sheet and seeing why the invoices have been rejected by the funding body. Finding out what the reason and then resolving said invoice/invoices and getting them paid.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a good amount of responsibility when it comes to handling invoices. The company understands my role is to interject when necessary to resolve invoices and to prevent invoices affecting the profit margins.
Additionally, my manager checks in often to see how I am doing and has been a great help in getting comfortable and resolving invoices where the solution is quite uncommon.
