Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The customer financial services accounts receivables role involves managing a portfolio of collections, contacting clients, solving queries, responding to emails, and communicating with other teams within the company. A regular day starts with a worklist of items that need to be completed throughout the day. It includes the people to contact, email templates, phone numbers, and an overall overview of the account. Moreover, each person is assigned with a queue of tickets that need to be resolved.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, indeed, coming into the internship the amount of responsibility I was given came as a surprise to me which made the whole experience challenging and enriching. During the holiday season, some of the account representatives are off, and we as interns, were being assigned their tasks from the beginning of week 3. The team was very receptive to any questions which made it easier but it was definitely a steep learning curve. Having to make important phone calls having started only a couple days ago was scary but extremely rewarding and made me get comfortable with the clients quickly
