Receptionists are the face of a company

When customers enter a business, the receptionist is the first person they encounter. How the receptionist acts as they greet customers is an essential reflection of the company as a whole. Receptionists also offer administrative support, redirect phone calls and coordinate front desk activities for a company. When hiring for receptionist jobs in Washington, D.C., employers are searching for friendly, helpful, organized candidates with solid communication and customer service skills.

Secretaries keep businesses running smoothly

Secretaries typically provide businesses with administrative support. People hired for secretarial jobs in D.C. may perform clerical work, answer phones, manage appointments and calendars, write letters and emails, assist executives with special projects, file paperwork and perform additional duties as needed by the company. 

Secretaries are professionals who fill integral roles within companies. Because they are often responsible for various company tasks, secretaries must possess administrative, communication, customer service, technical and problem-solving skills.
