Try going to a temp. agency. They will give you a typing test so you can prove to them your typing skills are adequate & a few other office/clerical tests to see were you stand. They will also interview you right away & there is your chance to show your personality & communication skills. Good luck:)

"Q"

Try looking at Craigslist, Monster, and Careerbuilder for entry-level positions.

Without a lot of sufficient exprience, I doubt whether they would hire you as a receptionist. You would have to start at the bottom and work your way up. There are jobs like office assisting, office clerking, file clerk, mail clerk, or something like that. When you grow with the company, they will see the skills that you have, and then they would be able to offer you a more front office job.

Hello, You must write your resume, in a way that it will be appealing to them and they will invite you for a job interview. For example to emphasize How good your communication skills are, and that you are very skill and fast at typing.
