I think they will want to know that you understand about patient confidentiality Sprout ....and that you are used to dealing with the public politely ...which you are ....that you look smart and that you can cope with pressure ...which you can .  

Good luck Sprout  

Thank you, you two 

Good luck Sprouticles 

RIGHT - this is right up mine street, like.

 

Receptionist huh?

Can you pick up a phone? if you can - you're half way there

They will want to know if you can 'recept' things, like patients.

They might ask you if you have any patience - cos you'll soon be getting a lot more. Aherm 

They may want you to have a medical - clue is in the title.

You may have to 'do' medicals in reception areas - who knows - so its cup n cough, ok ... that may include an 80 yr old guy remember

 

 

You need to ask them if the job is in fact for MI5 - or else what's the ruddy secret!!

If they ask for anymore details tell them they'll get them after you get your first wage packet,

Other than that - piece of pee pee for ya

 

 

I dare you to walk in and say,

 

"Ok you c**ts ... what's the f***ing secret??!!"

 

Or walk in holding your hands up saying,

 

"Hola b*tches" 

 

Be constructive will ya Saint! 

Ok  . . . but all I can manage is a paper aeroplane

I would think that apart from the normal expectations of a receptionist, that confidentiality, a warm friendly nature, the ability to keep any shock reactions from your face and attitude is a must.....

 

Good luck Sprout.

You don't want Sainty to be constructive. That's even worse than him being unhelpful 

 

Did that in my last job   It was part reception and part admin but mostly admin. I used to sign clients in and bugger off into the back room and make their next appt when they came out  

They may ask you to talk about The Data Protection Act '98

 

Try not to say,

"I can't tell you - it's confidential"

Baz and Syd have it covered Sprout, so I'm sure you're more than qualified for the job.  Good luck - there's no reason why you shouldn't get it  

Read somewhere recently about some of the seemingly bizarre questions that people can be asked at job interviews as well as the relevant ones applicable to the job. 

I recall that one of them was 'Would you rather know a little about a lot or a lot about a little?

 

This BBC page might be of use.  Good luck with the interview, Sprout

Thanks 

Thanks Madame 

Would you like to know a 'lot' about reception or a 'little' about medical?

 

You say receptionist

And I say medical-ist

You say Data Protectionist

And I say you're perfectionist

 

Receptionist - projectionist - data - see you later

 

Why don't they all fooook offffff !!!!  

By Jove I think you've got the job!!!!!

HOORAY for stupidity 

Just tell them that your policy is to treat every patient like they're the only one you're ever going to have through the door, and they'll love you

Good luck sprouty, I hope you get it

Thanks everyone 

Professionalism

Confidentiality

Reassurance

Empathy

Understanding

And ask if the job comes with free cake as it will improve your work performance beyond belief

Rofl

Good luck, sprouty!

Good luck Sprouty!  

 

I reckon you should take Saint along as a cheerleader..... 

Gimme an S

Gimme a P

Gimme a r-o-u-t-y

What have you got?

 

A slightly nervous, middle aged wanna-be medical receptionist called Pam - hey !!!

Wouldn't like to be in your shoes when Sprouty see's that tomorrow 

its ok Moongate - I'm at work all day tomoz ... sadly

 

So now - its bedtime - good luck Sproutly

Aww poor Sainty 

Goodnight and sleep my friend 

Good luck Sprouty

Good luck Sprouticus, knock'em dead...
