"I believe that a great Front Desk Associate acts as the eyes and ears of the company. They often talk to the customers one-on-one, more than anyone else in the organization. They understand the needs of the clients and are the first impression of the company to most. For these reasons, I ensure that my attitude, and my appearance, is highly professional at all times."
