RECEPTIONIST
Career Center

As part of a three-person team, the receptionist provides front-line support for a busy office of 25 full-time staff and an equal number of part-time and work study student employees. The receptionist assists in fielding phone calls and greeting visitors (students, faculty, parents, and employers), and schedules student appointments with 16 career, internship and merit awards advisors. Some general office administrative duties are also a part of this position (faxing, sorting mail, data entry, copying).

Must be comfortable in a fast-paced environment; experience in a customer-service position required. Previous experience in a busy office is a plus. We are looking for a fast learner, with a positive and professional attitude. The position requires dependability, flexibility, accuracy and solid computer skills. Diplomacy, friendliness, and a sense of humor will help the successful receptionist interact with the Career Center’s variety of clientele.

We work hard and we enjoy what we do! We are looking for a well-qualified member of our team.

Hours: Up to 20 hours a week, in a work schedule that coincides with our peak daytime office hours. Prefer a start date in August just before or when classes begin.

Pay: Starting @ $9.00 - $10.00 / hr. (depending on experience)

To apply: Send cover letter and resume to Andre Clarke, Office Manager, aclarke@american.edu. A completed AU Application Form is also required. The form is available from Human Resources on campus or at http://american.edu/hr/; mail or fax the completed form to Andre Clarke, AU Career Center, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20016-8011.
