Whatever the circumstances, Newsquest Essex’s classified sales manager Paul McDonald is recruiting for his busy sales team.

 

He says: “We have a number of telesales roles available within our classified team based at our Basildon office.

 

“We shall be setting up interviews with candidates who feel they may have the qualities we are looking for. They could be already experienced within this type of sales role.
