I worked as receptionist but I lost my job because the company went bankrupt. I'm 45 years and I don't know where to find a new job. I’m Spanish native and speak English, Italian and Portuguese. Where can I find a new job?

Hello all, I’m looking for a receptionist job. I saw different jobs and a skill is languages. But not define which languages are more important. What languages do you think are most important for this work? Thank u!

I am an above average educated person. Due to unexpected circumstances, I now have 2 suitcases of possessions. I lived in my own home with every comfort any human being could want. I started my working life at 17 as an Air Hostess. I studied during my working life and now am capable of almost any job. I have tried to get employment but I always get the response of being "over-qualified". No one is "Over qualified" to clean a floor or work as a Receptionist. Especially if I am an going person and excel in working with people. So I am unemployed with no possibilities right now, although I still try. I am living with my son and his wife and granddaughter. We live in a small flat and my sons' wife is having another child. I have to leave this accommodation but have no where to go. I have contacted certain authorities to no avail. I am willing to work for my board and lodging to get on my feet again but cannot find any such safe arrangement. I have 2 weeks to find a solution...preferably on the South Coast (Devon). I am 57 and cannot live on the streets. I have not mentioned the emotional trauma i.e. even having to give my dog (who I loved so much), away. Who can help me. As mentioned, I am not looking for hand-outs...I am willing to work for my survival.

Receptionists are required to provide administrative support for companies and organizations. They are the first point of contact for a company and have to deal with visitor enquiries. They work behind a reception desk and welcome clients and visitors, referring them to the appropriate member and answering questions related to the company. These workers usually keep a record of visitors.

Receptionists usually perform many of the following tasks:
• Dealing with visitors.
•   Answering telephone calls.
• Sorting incoming mail.
• Keeping other members updated with company announcements.
• Referring people to other members.
