Overview

What do you think of when you hear the term receptionist? Someone who sits around all day drinking coffee? Yeah, right! While that stereotype may be enforced on some TV shows, it has never been true. 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment for receptionist and administrative assistants will grow 12 percent from 2012 to 2022, an addition of almost 480,000 jobs. 

Being a receptionist is now considered a career. More people/businesses now recognize the importance of the role – the reception is the face of a company. It will have an impact on what people think of you as a business and this initial interaction can even have an impact on whether or not someone decides to do business with you.

The role of a receptionist has changed and you will need to know what it takes to thrive.
