Imagine a day when you crawl out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and stumble to work in your pajamas. Your first customer orders a Big Mac, fries and a drink, but you’re sitting in your living room sipping coffee.
Sounds more like you’re still in bed dreaming, but in reality that is the kind of job opportunity coming to Silver City on July 31 when Verety LLC holds a job fair.At a time when many in the community have call center training and are soon to be out of a job, Verety’s move into Silver City is a welcomed one.
“I think it is a good initiative. It is going to tap into other types of job seekers — stay-at-home moms and college students, seniors and others that want to work from home on flexible basis,” said Bonnie Zelinko area director for the New Mexico Workforce Connection Center.
Zelinko said the Department of Workforce Solutions is helping Verety set up the job fair and said she feels that with Teleperformance closing its doors, the job opportunity is not only good for Grant County, but desired.
“When we did our assessment with Teleperformance, over 100 responded and a big percentage said they would like to work out of their homes,” she said.
The company aims to hire 100 to 150 employees and is interested in bilingual employees — offering $7 to $7.50 an hour for English-speaking only and $8 to $8.50 an hour for bilingual employees.
