Typically, receptionists are known from hotels. However, there are receptionists in many other contexts, and they all have different tasks.

Receptionists can work in hotels, conference and exhibition centres, large companies, public institutions such as hospitals, and many other places. Some of the typical tasks of a receptionist include welcoming guests and providing various information about places, events, and similar matters, handling correspondence between guests, taxi companies, travel agencies, airlines, and much more. Often, one needs to speak several different languages and must be especially good at talking to people, being service-minded, and having the capacity to assist guests, customers, and others at all times of the day. The receptionist is often the public face of the company and the first person a guest or customer meets when they walk through the door. The receptionist is also often the one who answers the phone when someone calls a hotel, company, or institution directly, making it important to be open and friendly. One must also be able to maintain composure in busy situations, such as overbooked rooms, delayed meetings, and other issues that may frustrate guests or customers and create busyness. Hotel guests often have high expectations of receptionists, and one must be prepared to provide discretion and reliability to give guests the best experience.
Receptionists work in many different places, and their tasks vary accordingly. Sometimes it can be advantageous to have experience in the specific industry or company one works with. Working as a receptionist in a hotel, it is also beneficial to know the country or area well to provide good advice to guests.
