Experience
So far I have held receptionist positions at two different organizations.
During summers in high school I worked at a nail salon in West Chester, Pennsylvania. There I learned a bit about running a salon as well has inventory management and customer service. My most recent experience was working at the front desk of a nursing home in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. At Avista Healthcare, my job varied on the day. Most days I welcomed visitors and spoke with resident ensuring their needs were met. I also got the building ready for opening and closing, answered phone calls and emails, oversaw the security of the building, and provided information regarding the home itself, the surrounding area, and/or employment opportunities. Other days, I recorded and managed the financial accounts of residents, created documents and spreadsheets that other department within the established required, and organized paperwork for each department. I also worked closely with the director of the Human Resources department. In the HR department I assisted in scheduling, filing, and the handling of payroll as well as learning the process of employment for the organization.
This summer I will be interning at the Urban League of Philadelphia. An organization dedicated to helping the community through financial planning. Other services involve youth education, counseling, and entrepreneurship. I am excited to help the community and gain hands on experience in working with big data.
