They work with clients to resolve any scheduling issues that may arise, and also interact with clients from outside BU who are inquiring about facility rentals. Reservations Assistants must have strong customer service skills, interpersonal skills, verbal and written communication skills, planning\/organizational skills, and the ability to work with a high degree of accuracy in a fast-paced working environment.
