[January 14, 2004] Joi Internet Hiring Laid off EarthLink Workers Joi Internet announced today that it is hiring employees who are losing their jobs at competing Internet Service Provider EarthLink. Joi Founder & CEO Joe Egosi says, "We are expanding our call centers and need experienced, skilled workers to complement our free 24/7 customer service. Joi is not outsourcing our customer service. Our customers expect top-notch service when they need it and we will continue to provide it to them." Joi has an immediate need to hire skilled workers in Atlanta. The company is also seeking workers for a new call center planned in the Southeast. "We want to hire as many skilled employees as we can right now," adds Egosi. "Between Atlanta and the new planned call center we need about 100 skilled workers. Joi Internet completed a major nationwide expansion at the end of 2003 by adding 7000 local access numbers on the West Coast, in the Southeast and elsewhere." Vice President of Marketing David Norman adds, "Joi recently launched a major marketing and advertising campaign in the expanded markets, resulting in a surge of new customers. We need to reinforce our workforce. The recent downsizing at EarthLink of their in-house call centers comes at a good time. We want to take advantage of this opportunity to hire experienced ISP customer service representatives as we anticipate doubling our customer base during 2004." People interested in working for Joi may apply electronically at [email protected]. Egosi says displaced EarthLink employees in markets outside of Atlanta who are willing to relocate are also welcome to apply. "Joi offers competitive pay and an energetic working environment," says Egosi. "This is a great opportunity for top workers who are losing their jobs through no fault of their own to literally walk across the street into a new career." [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
