A switchboard operator is a person who operates a switchboard to route incoming and outgoing telephone calls. Switchboard operators are responsible for connecting customers with the correct internal or external phone lines, taking messages, providing basic information, and transferring calls to other departments or personnel. Operators may also be responsible for other duties such as providing emergency numbers, taking orders, scheduling appointments, and performing basic data entry.
