COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*
today announced that the company is seeking applicants to fill more
than 120 jobs around Ohio,
including technician positions in the Toledo area and more than 70 call center
positions in Brecksville,
Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Youngstown. An open house/hiring event will be
held on Saturday, Mar. 7 for
applicants interested in the Brecksville call center positions. That event
will take place at the AT&T Cleveland Call Center, 45 Erieview
Plaza, Cleveland, 44114, from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This comes as the company totals its 2013 and 2014 hires in
Ohio at more than 1,730. Positions
filled in the past two years included IT/engineering, retail,
technician, call center, business solutions, and corporate support
categories.
The hiring reflects AT&T's continuing investment in its
Ohio network and team. The company
made more than 830 upgrades to its wireless network in Ohio in 2014, including the launch of service
for former Alltel subscribers in more than 20 northern Ohio counties. The integration of former
Alltel towers into the upgraded network increased AT&T's cell
towers in these areas of Ohio by
nearly 40 percent. AT&T invested more than $1.6 billion in its wireless and wired networks
in Ohio between 2011 through
2013.
"I'm pleased to hear that AT&T is continuing to offer
good-paying jobs and benefits to more Ohioans, and that the company
continues to expand and enhance their broadband network
infrastructure here," said Armond
Budish, Cuyahoga County Executive. "Having access to fast,
strong, reliable wireless technology translates into more job
opportunities and helps us all work smarter and stronger."
AT&T jobs are among the best in the world and full- and
part-time positions include competitive wages and benefits.
AT&T is committed to and has been recognized for diversity and
veteran recruiting, and has doubled its hiring goal for veterans
and their family members to 10,000 over a five year period,
consistent with its commitment to equal employment
opportunities. Military veterans can learn more about careers

"As AT&T continues to expand its customer base in
Ohio and invest in our network,
we're pleased to have the opportunity to welcome more Ohioans to
the AT&T family," said Adam
Grzybicki, President of AT&T Ohio. "The hundreds already
hired and those soon to be hired will help us continue to provide
the high level of service our customers have come to expect."

Over the last six years (2009-2014), AT&T invested nearly
$140 billion including investments in
its wireless and wireline networks and acquisitions of wireless
spectrum and operations. Since 2009, AT&T has invested more in
the United States than any other
public company. In a September 2014
report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on
its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes," a ranking AT&T has
achieved for the third straight year.
