BURLINGTON, Vt., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Mobility announced a Job Fair designed to help fill nearly 75 open company positions in the state of Vermont including jobs in retail sales, sales management and wireless network operations.

These new positions are a direct result of AT&T Mobility's December 2008 acquisition of Unicel assets in Vermont. The company is in the process of adding additional staff to its ten legacy Unicel stores across the state. The company began offering the full slate of AT&T Mobility products and services -- including the highly anticipated iPhone 3G -- at company-owned retail locations in Vermont on January 15.

"AT&T's wireless entrance into Vermont, and their immediate need to hire, is real proof of the importance of doing all we can to encourage the expansion of our state's technology infrastructure," said Governor Jim Douglas. "We are pleased to welcome AT&T Mobility and to have this opportunity to show the company the high quality of our workforce here in Vermont."

"Our company is growing in many areas, particularly our wireless business. We are thrilled to expand our employee base in Vermont," said William Leahy, vice president of Atlantic region legislative and regulatory affairs for AT&T Services, Inc. "Ultimately, we are looking for individuals who have equal passion for both customer service and new technologies."

Candidates interested in a career with AT&T Mobility are invited to apply and interview from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at The Hampton Inn - 42 Mountain Drive in Colchester, Vermont. Vermont job openings include but are not limited to wireless sales and sales management.
