Hi!
So, I have 0 experience working as a receptionist or with animals professionally. My background is working in mental health settings (psychiatric hospitals, crisis accommodation, residential). I'm at risk of losing my job currently due to health (fibromyalgia/ME and some mental health struggles of my own). I've been considering a career change, and I've always loved animals and have had several pets of my own! I have a natural interest in animals and most entry level jobs seem to be receptionist roles!
I have some precious customer service experience but that's dating back like 8 years. I pick up admin/IT related tasks relatively quickly I think so overall it sounds like it could be okay but I'd just like more information!
Before I consider this route, what should I expect? What's the day to day typically like? What's something I should know as someone completely new to this role/environment? 😊 Thanks!
