How many times have you walked into the reception area of a building only to be met by an unsmiling Receptionist and the coldest of cold welcomes? If this has happened to you in the past, you’ll know how important it can be to offer a hello, a smile and an efficient response to every question. Receptionists are the public face of a company, the first impression that always means so much.

Whether you’re an experienced Receptionist or you’re looking to start a new career, you’ll be pleased to know that a number of Receptionist jobs in Hong Kong are likely to be available at any given time. Here in one of the world’s busiest economies, corporations are doing business all the time, so making sure every client or potential client is made to feel as welcome as possible.

So what makes an excellent receptionist? First and foremost, a pleasant, friendly disposition is an absolute must. You’ll be meeting people all the time, any one of whom could be bringing a highly lucrative deal to your company’s door. The way you make them feel when they first enter the building will put them in the right or wrong mood for what could be a very serious meeting with a high-ranking director.

And you’ll need to be an organised individual with a methodical approach. You’ll have to work independently, but if you can maintain an unflappable exterior you’re likely to be a big success. In time, you’ll come to know the names and locations of those who work in your building, and to understand how the company expects you to interact with them.
