Description for front desk employee who typically works at a larger company. He or she normally is the first person a visitor or customer may encounter at the site. Receptionists typically screen incoming phone calls, while taking and distributing messages to appropriate parties. They also greet visitors and inform company employees that persons have arrived for meetings or appointments. A receptionist must have a variety of useful skills. One of the first is an ability to multitask efficiently, without becoming too rattled by having distractions. In a typical day, a receptionist may have to sign for a postal delivery, answer multiple incoming phone calls, and greet visitors all at the same time. A good receptionist is able to prioritize these events and deal with each in a fast, courteous, and pleasant manner. As such, organizations favor receptionists who can think clearly and quickly and adapt to changing situations. Working Hours. 8 hour day Salaries.
