A receptionist is a person employed to answer the telephones and perform other routine office tasks (such as faxing) in a business, or to greet visitors, patients, or clients.

A receptionist is usually regarded at the bottom of the office "food chain". However, a few famous people were receptionists in the beginning, such as Betty Williams, a co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize for Peace.

The advancement of office automation has eliminated many receptionists' jobs. For example, a telephone caller could be answered by a computer.

The occupation has been dominated by females.
