AT&T Kentucky announced that it is hiring 70 new people for vacant spots in the company. If candidates pass the communication giant's requirement, they will be assigned as retail associates and technicians.

Those who will be hired as technicians will be divided into two categories. Some will be assigned as outside plant technicians who would receive a weekly pay ranging from $613.50 to $1,398.50. The rest will be given the job of wire technicians with a weekly salary that ranges from $384.50 to $922.50.

For those who will apply for full-time retail sales consultants, they can look forward to receiving an annual salary of $49,734 on their first year.

These recent job post filings were induced by the increase in demand for wireless services.

According to Hood Harris, president of AT&T Kentucky, emerging technologies are driving the requirement for new workers. Currently, this particular sector of the communication giant employs 2,800 people.

AT&T Georgia is even more aggressive in the hiring of new people. Recent company announcement indicated that it is looking to hire over 340 people for retail and technical positions.

The company is looking for skilled workers to meet the growing requirements of consumers for high-speed communication and other advanced technologies. Similar to Kentucky, this place also needs technicians and retail associates.

"As we've continued to invest in our state and expand our customer base in Georgia, we've also remained committed to providing excellent customer service," said William Leahy, Georgia AT&T president.

At present, the tech giant has over 20,200 employees in its Georgia location. It constantly hires new workers as the need arises.

"From connected cars to a connected home, and from wearable technology to mobile Internet, these are exciting and ambitious times for us - and we are looking for hundreds of employees who can build on that excitement and provide the services our customers expect and deserve," Leahy added.
