Receptionists will be asked to take on a number of clerical roles in the office, including answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, and working face-to-face with customers. Employers are looking for candidates with excellent organizational skills and who know how to maintain a positive, helpful attitude in the workplace. In an interview, you may be asked about any bookkeeping or scheduling experience you have. Be prepared with personal anecdotes about instances when you satisfied a frustrated customer or worked around a scheduling conflict.
I did not expect to be told I was going to be "hired by the team" and not by the person I interviewed with. This was too bad since those who were making the decision were not even in my interview, rather I met them in a tour of a building/in passing.
What do you plan to do within the next year?

Really no questions about my past employment. Mostly interested in my past experience and interview was over in less than 10 minutes and immediately hired.

Tell me about yourself.
Since I was studying at a time they asked me when could I start and how long could I work for them. They needed someone to cover summer season and I needed a summer job only, so we were perfect match at the time. They also asked me if I spoke any other foreign languages except English and if I had IT and tourism-related experience. They also had a colleague of theirs test me after the interview.
