The entry requirements for receptionist jobs depend on the nature of the business. Some job descriptions may state that the company is looking to employ someone with previous reception experience, knowledge of particular computer software or switchboard experience. They may sometimes require a first aid certificate although most employers will send their staff on first aid courses as part of the training. Receptionist jobs at hospitals are unlikely to have formal entry requirements, although employers usually look for candidates with GCSEs or the equivalent.
Working hours are usually nine to five, with the possibility of extra hours during busy periods.
Receptionist jobs within the media sector are often open to graduates looking to work in that field and are a great way to get into highly competitive industries. The nature of the role means that receptionist jobs provide the chance get to know everyone in the company, including senior management. This offers an excellent opportunity to understand the nature of the business, make contacts within the company and take on any extra work. By showing enthusiasm for the business on reception, other vacancies that arise in the company may be offered because of the experience gained already working there. This is a popular route into sectors like PR, Television and Journalism, where contacts and experience play an important part in getting a job. Recommended Sites
