First Shift Professional Telephone Receptionist- *Full Time*

We are seeking to hire a professional telephone receptionist for a full time first shift position, with a minimum of 32 hours per week. This position requires availability between the hours of 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM to ensure consistent coverage during our daytime operations.

Working at least one weekend day is a requirement for this position.

If you have a strong work ethic, effective communication skills, an empathetic and compassionate personality, and a positive attitude, we would love to have you as part of our team!

For the last 30\+ years, Always On Call has been providing virtual receptionist, customer service, emergency dispatch, and switchboard services to a wide range of exclusive clientele. As a Telephone Receptionist, you will be the first impression for businesses, non\-profits, and government agencies, serving as an extension of their office when they are unable to answer the phone personally. Ultimately, this position is all about providing an integral service to assist callers in their time of need.

To be successful in this position, you must have a pleasant personality, professional demeanor, and able to enunciate clearly. The ability to answer multiple calls in a timely manner and use American business etiquette on calls, with accurate spelling, grammar, and sentence structure are essential for this position. As a 24/7 industry, this position requires working in shifts, so flexibility is a plus.
