Passage
A Receptionist's Job

Secretaries who receive visitors are called receptionists. There are different kinds of receptionists however. In a small firm, the 'receptionist' may have to receive visitors and do some typewriting and clerical work. In a large firm, on the other hand, a receptionist only receives visitors and makes appointments and travel arrangements.
There are different tasks in receiving visitors. Executives 3 should tell receptionists about all their appointments. This should be done in advance or at the beginning of each day. They should inform the receptionist of their activities (for example, going to see an important person, going to lunch) throughout the day. If the receptionist has this information, she can receive and talk to visitors without any delay, and she can work efficiently 4.
