News Release: Job Opportunities

For Immediate Release
Contact: Dixie Ziegler, 402-694-3656 v/TTY
Vice President, Hamilton Relay, Inc.
Hamilton Relay’s Growth Renders Employment Opportunities
Aurora, Nebraska– April 24, 2007. Hamilton Relay, a business that
provides a unique nationwide communications service to people who are
Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Disabled, continues to grow. Hamilton
recently acquired four new contracts to operate the relay services in
the States of West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas and Maryland.
Relay is a free service that allows people who are Hearing, Deaf, Hard
of Hearing, Deaf-Blind or Speech Disabled to communicate via the
telephone. Through the use of specialized equipment, relay users
communicate freely with friends, family and businesses who use a
standard telephone.
Incorporated in 1901, Hamilton Telecommunications, parent company of
Hamilton Relay, began providing relay service in 1990. Since that time,
Hamilton Relay has expanded to become one of the largest
telecommunications relay service providers in the United States. With
the addition of these new states, Hamilton will up its total number of
states to which it provides relay service to 15 states, plus the Island
of Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. With 16 years of experience within
the relay industry, Hamilton’s relay division makes up one-half of
Hamilton’s total revenue. To date, Hamilton has been selected as the
relay provider 36 times considering renewals and RFP processes by a
variety of states and organizations across the country. “That in itself
says a great deal for the stability and longevity of our business
operations. Hamilton’s corporate commitment to the relay industry runs
deep,” says Dixie Ziegler, Vice President of Hamilton Relay.
As a result of this rapid growth, Hamilton Relay is currently accepting
applications for outreach and contract management positions in several
States across the country including Maryland, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,
Georgia and Nebraska. Hamilton has expanded the Wisconsin contract
management position to include responsibilities for the marketing and
development of Captioned Telephone service (CapTel®), a service designed
for individuals who have difficulty hearing on the telephone. CapTel is
a captioned telephone service similar to the closed captioning provided
on most television programs.
Hamilton Relay offers the opportunity for full-time, stable employment
with the opportunity for individuals to grow with the company. In
addition, Hamilton Relay offers very rewarding work for individuals.
John Fechter, Hamilton Relay National Outreach Manager, comments, “We
are very excited about Hamilton Relay’s continued advancement and the
resulting opportunities for employment. We encourage all qualified
individuals to apply.”
The telephone number for information about employment opportunities and
interviews with Hamilton Relay is 1-800-821-1831, Hamilton’s corporate
Human Resource Department. Individuals may also send inquiries and/or
resumes to www.hamilton.net/employment.html to the attention of Cindy
Blase. All full-time employees have the opportunity for a benefit
package including paid health and life insurance, long term disability,
401(K), cafeteria, paid vacation, sick leave and holidays.
“Excellent company benefits is one of the draws for employment with
Hamilton. However, the meaningful nature of the work brings with it
significant job satisfaction. As a result, many of our staff have been
with the company for 10 to 15 years, or more,” adds Ziegler.
“Hamilton’s roots run very deep in the relay industry. Hamilton Relay
provides all of the latest relay services—from TTY to captioned
telephones. From wireless relay to internet relay to video relay.
Hamilton is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on
the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or disability.
