I explained that my previous employer decided to retire and close the firm, which prompted me to use the opportunity to pursue a dramatic change of pace. I enjoyed the idea of something simple that ultimately kept me close to family and home, as I was a local, and something with streamlined work hours. I still desired to remain in some form of customer service, happy to be the offices front desk receptionist. I enjoyed real estate and jumped at the opening of a front desk receptionist position for a real estate firm close to home.
