Cricket Searches for the Biggest Personalities in St. Louis
St. Louis (PRWEB) April 22, 2008 -- Fresh off the most successful employee recruitment drive in Cricket history, Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, is launching a search for St. Louisans with unlimited personalities. The wireless communications leader is looking for dozens of talented men and women to represent it as Cricket enters the St. Louis market later this year. Cricket will hold auditions for the Cricket Krewe, the company's fun-loving street team, at the Student Center of St. Louis Community College - Florissant Valley from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, April 23.
The Cricket Krewe is a group of talented brand ambassadors who will hit the streets of St. Louis to introduce Cricket's wireless communications products and services to St. Louisans in entertaining, face-to-face ways. Those interested in answering the casting call should bring a resume and a big dose of personality to the April 23 auditions. Each applicant will have two to three minutes to:
1. Read from a prepared script.
2. Create and perform an impromptu sales pitch for a Cricket phone and service plan.
3. Show off a special talent and their enthusiasm for Cricket's arrival to St. Louis.
As part of its expansion into the St. Louis metropolitan area, Cricket welcomed a record 500 applicants at a March job fair - some of the most qualified applicants the company has ever interviewed.
"We're so excited about the level of quality and experience of the St. Louis applicants; it's like nothing we've ever seen during employee recruiting," said Dan Fowler, Cricket's St. Louis area general manager. "With such talent in the St. Louis market, we expect the casting call to be especially entertaining."
Cricket and its dealer partners will bring approximately 250 new jobs to the region at locations throughout the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, the Metro East and surrounding areas.
