Timekeeping

This is really important as turning up for appointments or job interviews late will indicate poor self discipline which for many companies is a big problem.

Grooming

Looking smart and having well groomed hair is very important. For many companies the receptionist will be the first person a guest will encounter and therefore grooming is essential

Communication

Having good eye contact, a bright smile and being friendly are very important skills for working on reception as no one wants to be greeted by a unhappy receptionist.

Organisation

Being self organised and also being able to organise others is another useful skills for receptionists as many day to day situations will arise which will need these qualities.

Computers
