A receptionist is the first point of contact for visitors and clients, responsible for creating a professional and welcoming environment. Key duties include answering and directing phone calls, greeting and assisting visitors, and managing inquiries with courtesy and efficiency. The receptionist handles appointment scheduling, meeting room coordination, and maintains accurate visitor logs. They sort and distribute incoming mail, manage deliveries, and prepare outgoing correspondence. Administrative tasks such as filing, data entry, photocopying, and scanning are also part of the role. Ensuring the reception area is clean, organized, and presentable at all times is essential. Additionally, the receptionist provides general support to staff, maintains security protocols, and ensures smooth communication across departments to support daily operations.
