Receptionists need to have an ear to the ground and be aware of everything that’s going in an Organization, from knowing which important meetings will be taking place to co-ordinating deliveries and organizing travel arrangements for staff. You'll also often be the first person that employees and potential clients see, so you're always representing the company.

A receptionist’s daily tasks will involve:

• Meeting and greeting clients
• Booking meetings
• Arranging couriers
• Keeping the reception area tidy
• Answering and forwarding phone calls
• Screening phone calls
• Sorting and distributing post
