Considering that receptionists juggle many tasks each day at work, the best person for the job is one who has a high level of multi-tasking ability. This is just one of the receptionist skills and qualities that are required for the job. A receptionist is also excellent at time management and being able to prioritize. In addition to interacting with people face-to-face or through the phone, receptionists also manage the company’s phone system, make appointments and making sure that people arrive on time, take and relay messages, and some administrative and clerical tasks. These being said, a receptionist’s job is not for anyone. The right person is able to work well under pressure, maintaining grace under fire. Being at the forefront of the company of business, the front desk office must be the neatest spot or corner of the office. A receptionist should also be a genius organizer. Who wants to see a front desk that is filled with paperwork all waiting to be sorted out and organized. This can certainly leave a poor impression on clients and guests. Also, it can increase the risk of breaching information security.
