Hiring and Maintaining Motivated Telemarketing Agents
Posted on Jun 14, 2010 by Sonya Lane, Vice President Human Resources
After recently reading an article about call center work in Connections Magazine, I started thinking about the content in the prior submissions I’ve made in regards to screening candidates for the Marketing Communications Specialist position here at TeleNet.

Capitalizing on the Talent Pool of a Troubled Economy
Posted on Apr 2, 2009 by Sonya Lane, Vice President Human Resources
