There they Grow Again: Virtual Call Center NEW plans 480 Jobs for Albany, GA

National Electronic Warranty (NEW) has announced it has chosen Albany Georgia as the next location to be part of the company's rapid expansion, with plans to bring 480 new work-at-home jobs to the south Georgia area. The company provides outsourced customer service to such companies as DirecTV, and handled 16 million calls last year.

As with similar announcements made recently by the company in Watertown New York, Tyler Texas and Wichita Falls Texas, NEW will begin by hiring 120 virtual call center agents to work from home this year, with plans to expand to 480 agents in the next four years.

NEW employees provide their own computer, a phone line, and high speed internet access. In exchange they enjoy the many benefits of working from home, including flexible hours and relief from high gas prices and the costs associated with commuting to work.

All NEW employees complete training in a classroom setting, usually at a local community college. Class sizes are limited to 20 people and training lasts for six weeks. After one class is completed, they begin training 20 more.

The company will begin hiring in Albany immediately. They'll have representatives at hiring events Tuesday May 20th at the Department of Labor Albany Career Center and a separate job fair at the Hilton Garden Inn.
