What are some perks of being a receptionist?

If you are a Receptionist who enjoys your job, here is a list of perks:

1. Since you are the first face people see, you have the opportunity to help shape their day with the way you greet them. (That is an honor perk!)

2. With an enthusiastic, professional voice you are a determine the way others view your company. (That is an opportunity perk!)

3. You are warm and disarming which puts all of us at ease.

(That is a gift perk.)

4. You are dispatching calls to employees within the company which means, it is hello, goodbye, "may I take a message?" or "would you please hold while I page Mrs. Veach?". Which means there is no face to face time and very little voice to voice time. (That is a GREAT perk!)

5. As you begin getting acquainted with some of your callers, they look forward to hearing your voice and that is very comforting to people no matter how high up the Corporate Ladder they are.

(You are building relationships that last!)

If you are a Receptionist who loves his/her job, these are all "Perks", if not you may want to get more training and search for a "back office" job.
