Hotel Receptionist Jobs

Hotel receptionist jobs within the United Kingdom are plentiful. There are many small and large chain hotels in which someone could find a myriad of positions. The hotels connected to or in connection with any of the airports are consistently hiring new staff members to keep up with the influx of travelers they need to accommodate each and every day. Many passengers who have redline flights will need a place to stay the night, and they will usually check in with the closest hotel around – and usually the hotels connected to the airports themselves so it makes for less of a hassle.

Hotel receptionist jobs are perfect for someone who is friendly and outgoing, and who enjoys helping people and providing great customer service. The ability to work with a smile on your face and ensure the customer is satisfied with their room, or helping the customer to switch rooms if they are unhappy is the top priority of the hotel receptionist.

A hotel receptionist job description consists of following duties:

• Check in/Check out for guests
• Supplying room keys and duplicate room keys
• Changing hotel rooms to meet customer needs and to ensure the customer is satisfied
• Answering phones and routing calls
• Answering e-mails
• Booking reservations
• Keeping the front area neat and tidy
• Greeting hotel patrons with a smile

And there are sometimes more daily requirements, though these are the most usual.

Parking lots are monitored by security as well to ward off any potential break in’s within anyone’s vehicles.
