Front Desk Receptionist/Office Assistant

Job Summary

The ideal person for this role is patient with others, genuinely enjoys helping people, and is aware of how they appear to others. The ability to communicate clearly, carefully, and kindly is required to be successful in this position. The job requires being in-office and at the front window/desk so it is better for outgoing individuals. The hours are 7:45 a.m.-3:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. General office work (data-entry, filing, sorting, making copies, etc.) and assisting coworkers also is expected. The receptionist must be able to switch back-and-forth between assisting people and clerical activities without frustration. Hiring will take place as soon as an ideal candidate is found, and there is a strong possibility that the position will become permanent for the right individual. If you need to spend a significant amount of time taking breaks, on social media, performing hobbies, or managing personal / family responsibilities while working, this is not the position for you.
