Switchboard Operator Jobs in Salem, OR

A Switchboard Operator plays a vital role in facilitating effective communication within an organization.

A high school diploma or its equivalent is typically required, but a certification in office administration or a related field may be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Switchboard Operator, one could hold roles such as Receptionist, Customer Service Representative, or Office Assistant which would provide relevant experience in handling calls and performing administrative tasks.
