wearing many hats

As is typical of the non-profit world, I will be adding another set of skills to my resume this week: working the front desk of an Institute. The strength (and weakness) of non-profits is that as an employee, you have the opportunity to try a lot of different jobs without actually applying for them--that way, when you eventually *do* move on (like Kate!) you have much more experience in a wider variety of occupations than your for-profit counterparts! Of course, this means that even if you were trained in French literature, you may be called upon to write up an advertisement (or review! of) for Latin dance classes at the community center.
I'm eager to share with you the in's and out's of running a front desk, wish me luck!
