Name change as this could be outing to someone I know who I think is on here.
I need help! And advice! I have my first proper job interview in a decade in a few days. High school receptionist. PT.
I have never done this role before, but have highlighted transferable skills in my application (organisational, dealing with the public, able to speak clearly, follow rules & instructions etc). Now I have been shortlisted I'm panicking.
The interview says there will be a short task. Any school receptionists with any idea what this could be? The role isn't office based, the admin staff are off the front line hidden inside the school, I'd be sat at the reception desk dealing with people arriving into the building & taking calls / messages / transferring calls. So I'm not sure if computer skills will be tested? Or prioritising jobs but I can't think what sort of thing? The only pc use I'm aware of for the current receptionist is sending emails to staff (I have a loose connection with the school so know how things seem from the outside).
PLEASE take pity on me! My child has been ill the past few days so I've had no time to prep. Such bad timing as it's rare either of my kids gets ill. I'm a LP and this job could turn our lives around financially. It's the first one I've seen in forever that I have any hope of doing (confidence issues with being a SAHM for yonks... used to be a well paid professional many moons ago but that feels like a different person now) and that fits with the school day, as I have no one else to drop off / pick up my kids (no family help at all).
Thanks for reading. I hope there are some high school receptionists out there on here!
