Receptionists are the face of a company
When customers enter a place of business, the receptionist is the first person they encounter. How the receptionist acts as they greet customers is an important reflection on 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, employers are searching for candidates who are friendly, helpful, organized and possess skills in communication and customer service.
Secretaries keep businesses running smoothly
Secretaries also provide businesses with administrative support. They 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 a wide variety of tasks within a company, it is important for secretaries to possess administrative, communication, customer service, technical and problem-solving skills.
