Receptionist Jobs in New Jersey

A receptionist is a crucial role in the administrative industry who acts as a first point of contact for visitors, clients, and employees coming into an office. They manage crucial tasks such as answering and transferring phone calls, scheduling appointments, greeting clients, sorting and distributing mail, and providing general administrative and clerical support. They utilize various office equipment such as fax machines, photocopiers, and computers for tasks such as data entry and document preparation. They also provide information to callers or visitors, take messages, and handle queries appropriately.

Important skills for a receptionist include excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, strong organization skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in various computer software such as Microsoft Office. They should also possess good interpersonal skills, be able to multitask, and have a professional appearance and attitude. While a high school diploma is generally required, there is no specific certification required for a receptionist. However, certifications like a Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) or Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) could increase job prospects. Prior to becoming a receptionist, a person might work in roles such as an Office Assistant, Customer Service Representative, or Administrative Assistant to gain relevant experience.
