What Do I Need to Become a Receptionist?
Good customer service skills: Your day will involve lots of communication between staff in the school and people outside of the school such as parents. You will have to talk over the phone and face to face to others therefore you must be friendly, approachable and patient to
communicate well.Previous experience: Having previous experience in a receptionist role would be beneficial however on-the-job training can help to give you more skills within this role.
