Job seekers aim for TeleTech positions in Kalispell, Montana

For the last five years, Lance Deitrick has owned his own construction company.

For a while, business was good at Beyond Concrete. Even last year, when the economy began to tank, Deitrick was busy with remodels.

But this year, business has slowed dramatically. Deitrick, 37, estimates his Kalispell business is at about 20 percent of what it was last year.

“We went from new construction to remodels, and now remodels have stopped,” Deitrick said.

That’s what brought him to TeleTech on Tuesday morning. He was at the company’s job fair, hoping to land one of the 100 jobs the Kalispell call center plans to add by March.

Those who are unable to make it to TeleTech today have another opportunity from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Flathead Job Service, 421 First Ave. E., Kalispell. TeleTech and job service employees will be on hand to help applicants through the process.
