In addition to Dash's suggestions, purchase some appropriate clothes if you don't already have them. Most receptionists are expected to dress rather formally, and look nice without looking flashy. Unless you're told otherwise, expect not to wear jeans and flip-flops. A couple of nice outfits that you could alternate and accessorize would be ideal.

Also, if you don't already know them, it is possible that you will be asked to use Microsoft Word and Excel and you might want to practice with them.

Good luck!
