I'm applying for a receptionist job tomorrow, working on my  cover letter. =)

"Crap job"....as you watch high-salary people around you being fired routinely. Not a crap job at all. It's like an occupational "bomb shelter".

It is a pretty sweet job and it is a very important component to any office function.

@Shugarbeen You can slam all you want but keeping a business office in an orderly fashion is important. It's too bad you just don't get it.

@pure0pwnage a so called crap job is better than no job at all!

All the people here calling receptionist work "crap jobs' simply need to get over themselves. It is good honest work and nothing wrong with it. I have TWO BA degrees and I've done this work for over a decade and I love my job! I'd say in these tough economic times one should heed the words of the Desiderata which reads in part "Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time."

@Shugarbeen : That's the beauty of it--it DOESN'T. One of the last of the REAL occupations. ;])
