Due to continued expansion, Athene Corporate Services is looking for an outstanding Receptionist for our new location.

You must have exceptional people skills, be able to maintain a positive attitude at all times, and view reception duties as a career. You take huge pride in being at the front desk. You realize you can make or break our business just by how you act and what you do.

• Manage the very-high-tech phone system. (We'll train you but you have to learn it.)
• Accurately record all time spent on billable client work in our online time recording system.
• Smile a lot, even when you are dealing with the occasional ignorant, rude caller.

Here's what you have:

• You like people.
• A mature, positive, happy attitude and a strong customer service focus.
• An excellent command of the English language and grammar (you rite good).
• You are proficient in Microsoft Office software (Word, Excel, Outlook, and ideally PowerPoint and Publisher). You love learning new software.
