I have a question for all phone operators, or switchboard operators??

Question

people who work as receptionists, who answer the phone for multiple companies, multiple phone calls, up to 200 to 500 a day? How is thejob like? is it extremely stressfull? is it ok after you get used to it? how long does it take to get used to..and is it something you enjoy, or can atleast stand for over more than a few years??

Answer 1

I was a receptionist for a marketing company and had to transfer calls around the counrty. I was stressful. You get yelled at and you have to be nice.

I loved it. You erally have to get the hang of it and have knowledge of the company that you work for as well.

The second most stressfull job ( other than an air traffic controller) is a receptionist.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

it really depends on what the calls are about. my job is very stressful because i get mostly complaints and people who are upset, cursing, and calling me names. it pays well but after 6 years its tiring
