I’m glad there is so much interest in these open positions. As the Director of Human Resources for Americatel and Matrix, I can assure you that Spanish is not a requirement for these positions. We are looking for people who are hardworking, enthusiastic and committed to providing great customer service; much like those already working for Matrix in this location. We welcome applicants from all parts of Alabama and Florida, from Mobile to Pensacola, and have current employees in the call center from those communities today. I encourage anyone who has an interest in an excellent opportunity to stop in to the job fair next week, where you can learn more about what we have to offer.

I hope to see you then!

Way to go atmore. Guess all the Spanish classes in high school will pay off. But really there are plenty Spanish people in atmore. Maybe you can move this to rivercane. I know there is plenty of space for rent.

Sounds to me like employees would have to speak Spanish in order to work there. But it doesn’t say, so I suppose anyone who wanted could go to the job fair and find out. And Bama54, these companies don’t worry about employees relating to the customers. The employees generally read from a company script and enter the necessary information. It’s a good thing for Atmore and I hope it all works out.

I was wondering the same thing. Will you have to speak and understand spanish to get a job? I went to the Americatel website, there was no link to apply, and it was in spanish.

“provides international telecom services to immigrant and hispanics in the United States and Canada. ” Just how in the world do the people of Atmore relate to immigrants and hispanics?? Call centers never seem to work well in Atmore for some reason, but I give Atmore credit it keeps trying.

Would people in Cantonment and above Pensacola be available to apply for the jobs of telecommication. I worked with Comcast before and have some experience. Would I be able to apply on line?
Thank you Jacquelyn Andrews
