As a multilingual office specialist, I performed general office tasks and communicated with students, teachers, parents, office staff and the principal. I would answer phone calls, emails and transfer phone calls to appropriate individuals. Every Monday I would arrange meetings, schedule appointments for parents to meet with the principal and often translate for non English speaking parents, arrange conferences, greet visitors and handle their inquiries, and direct them to the appropriate persons according to their needs.
