Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My daily responsibilities vary from cashiering and treasury tasks. My cashiering tasks mostly involve recording and depositing money from the customers into the correct bank account whereas treasury tasks involve monitoring all HFS bank accounts to ensure financial stability throughout our accounts.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As much responsibility as I could have. In my day-to-day work, I work alone and then report to my manager when they're finished. However, as I work in Treasury, I needed access to different softwares to complete some of my tasks. At the original end-date of my placement, I still do not have complete access to these softwares meaning I have not had as much responsibility as I could have.
