Hotel Receptionist

The global hospitality sector is one of the world’s foremost employers. Nevertheless, competition for the most attractive positions is ferocious. Contrary to popular belief, hotel front-desk operations are about far more than basic admin alone. Receptionists work on the frontline of the establishments they represent, playing a pivotal role in every guest’s experience. In many instances, front-desk workers are the first, last and only team members hotel customers come into contact with. To succeed as a front-desk specialist, a variety of interconnected responsibilities must be carefully balanced. Examples of which include making reservations, welcoming guests upon arrival, handling complaints, reporting issues and ensuring every guest’s expectations are met or exceeded. To work as a receptionist is to hold the reputation and prosperity of the entire organisation in the palm of your hand. A position of high responsibility, which quickly gives way to more senior management roles for capable candidates.
