Required Qualifications:
• At least one year of customer service experience (office or administrative experience preferred)
• Comfortable with basic computer tasks (email, scanning, file management, and scheduling software)
• Proven track record of excellent attendance and punctuality in previous roles
Ideal Candidate:
• Friendly, proactive, and highly organized; able to handle multiple tasks calmly during busy periods and stay productive independently
