    That’s discrimination. Only hiring bilingual people. I have customer service skills, can type 40 wpm but don’t speak abother language. Shouldn’t foreigners learn English when they come to this country? I think it’s very offensive and discriminatory. I’m sure there are lots of other people who can do that job who don’t speak Spanish who need the work it’s ridiculous and offensive give a job for the people out here in the Antelope Valley nobody wants to make that drive all the way down to the San Fernando Valley we have nothing but room out here bring the jobs out here start building out here

      You tell them Tj! How dare they! It’s like the Lakers only hiring people who can play basketball. I can bowl with the best of them!!!!

      Are you serious? If so, please ask Rex to put you on one of his commissions. You’re just what we need.

      Tj, you are funny!!! Did the European learn Spanish or the Indigenous language that was spoken at the time they landed here? Remember that California was part of Mexico. Our land was taken from us and we were forced to learn English, now you look at us like we are the bad people when we are the original people. God Bless

      Tj- can i buy some pot from you? are you serious? it’s for a BILINGAL Call Center, meaning people who speak one language can call and have someone on the other end of the phone that can only say “Que?”…. you MUST be a Therump Supporter!

      Not all discrimination is illegal. It is an essential qualification of the job. Just like if they required 10 key by touch or advanced MS office skills. Times change and the workforce has to adapt.

    Who the F wants to do that awful commute? Here’s a novel idea- host events for jobs up here in the desert.

      Hey [removed]

      If a company was hiring here they might host an event. This company’s not from here.

      Are people that stupid?

    Nice way to call a credit collection agency for illegal immigrants. You still won’t get your money.

      So we let them stay when they entered the Country illegally and now we have to learn their language to compete for jobs?

      You can’t make this stuff up

      Trump 2016!
