Anyone else working as a receptionist? Just wondering do you find this role being very restrictive and have to seek permission before leaving the desk? Finding this part hard to deal with. On one hand you can be asked one day to help in difference areas away from the desk on the other you get into trouble for leaving your desk. Any ideas?

I'm currently working as a receptionist in a small (ish) rural business after working as a hotel receptionist for a few years before this. It is totally different. I think because the management isn't great at what they should be doing, the lines are blurred between where my role ends. So I end up doing lots of different things that require me away from the desk for a portion of the day. I don't mind it because I get to move away from the desk and etc, but it is also extremely frustrating because I end up doing things that somebody else should be doing and getting backed up on my own work.

However, while I worked as a hotel receptionist, I also found it difficult and annoying that I wasn't allowed to step away from the front desk. Even just using the bathroom was a mad sprint to get back as fast as possible. Very annoying.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
