We are a family-friendly dance studio located in the Bellevue area and are looking for an AWESOME front desk person. We need someone who is energetic and patient and 100% professional. While the atmosphere is relaxed, it is still a business and we need someone who will be good representation for us. Oftentimes, the front desk person is the very first impression prospective students have of our studio and we want to put our best foot forward!
We need an individual who has a naturally friendly and outgoing personality. Ideally, this person automatically smiles when people walk through the door. Being warm and friendly is one of the biggest requirements as customer service is highly important for this position. Attentiveness to current and prospective students is imperative. We need someone willing to drop what they are doing (even for the tenth time in an hour) and greet and attend to our clients.
This position also supports our after-school program manager with transportation from one of the local schools Monday through Friday from August through May. A clean driving record is a requirement as this person will be driving a van/SUV to bring a handful of elementary aged children to the studio.
If this sounds like you so far, keep reading!
Our requirements:
- Must love working with children and their parents (we need someone who isn't afraid to get down on the floor with the children and assist them in putting on tap shoes or ballet slippers if needed).
- Must not be afraid of some light housekeeping (studio-keeping?). These types of activities are divided into daily, weekly, and monthly duties and includes things such as (but not limited to): emptying trashcans, cleaning studio mirrors/restrooms, and straightening up the lobby area, etc.
- Must have computer experience. The computer usage isn’t extensive, but duties will be assigned which require the use of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and our studio management software.
- Must have math skills. We're not talking geometry or trig, but the position will require calculating tuition for new students, (including figuring out discounts for siblings, etc) manually figuring up dancewear orders and applying sales tax.
- Must have good phone skills. Answering phone calls and returning messages is a super important part of the job and we need someone who feels very comfortable doing this. Communication via email is also important.
- Attention to detail is a must. This person will be the right-hand-man (or woman!) to the studio director when it comes to ordering/receiving dancewear orders, costume orders and a wide variety of other things.
- The ability to prioritize tasks.
- Must have good problem-solving skills.
- Must be someone who takes initiative. If things get slow, we don't want someone twiddling their thumbs or texting their friends--there is always something that can be done!
- Must be dedicated, committed, and 100% dependable. This is NOT a “call out because you stayed up late and are sleepy” kind of job.
- Must enjoy dance. (Whether you enjoy participating or simply watching, we want someone who feels good and is excited about the services we offer!)
If the above describes you, please respond with a resume and short cover letter that gives a little insight as to who you are, your personality, and why this part-time gig is right for you. From there, we’ll select a few candidates to bring in for interviews. Remember, we're looking for someone who takes initiative and can follow directions. Yeah, this isn't the job that is gonna make you rich by any means, but it will be one of the ones you never forget. The staff is easy to work with, the clients are fun, and the boss-lady isn't too bad either.
We can’t wait to meet our next team mate!
