Tips for a receptionist resume

  • Say what kind of office. Medical, dental, legal, hotel, salon or corporate front desks each use different skills.
  • Use numbers. Calls per day, visitors greeted and appointments scheduled show you can handle a busy desk.
  • Name your software. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, multi-line phones and scheduling systems.
  • Show office skills. Data entry, filing, mail, payments and keeping confidential information private.
  • Highlight customer service. Handling upset callers, solving problems and making visitors feel welcome.
