This Newcorp is a freaking joke! I have applied, and haven't even got so much as a phone call! This was a waste of time annoucing this company is coming to this area! I have 5years computer technician experience, these jobs will probably go to white people just like all jobs do in Mississippi!

Some people would criticize anything. If someone is unemployed, needs a second job, or makes less than $9 an hour and has no benefits.....this is a good job for them. People who make $50,000 a year or more already would not want this job. But there are plenty of people for whom these jobs mean an opportunity and a step up. I'm glad they have the opportunity and I'm glad these jobs have come. No, they won't make anyone rich. But, hey, maybe they'll be able to make it now. That's a good thing, folks!

first off, the job is "support" not "telemarketing sales" and would you rather have these jobs be out sourced to india or some other country. secondly if you would read the article correctly ,then your comments wouldnt sound uneducated and absurd.
