The Estevan Mercury is excited to announce the hiring of a new sales representative, Daralee Kittelson.
Her first day on the job was Monday.
Kittelson comes to the Mercury after spending 16 years in the administrative side of the oil and gas industry, and she believes now was the time to do something different.
Most recently, she was working with Whitecap Resources. Kittelson had been with Torc Oil and Gas until it merged with Whitecap.
She has found the job at the Mercury to be an exciting, creative new opportunity.
“I’m liking the change, and I think I made the right choice to try something new,” she said.
Kittelson is looking forward to getting out and talking to the people in the community about what the Mercury can do for them, with the options it has for print and online, along with other promotional opportunities.
“It will be nice to get out and meet people. Every day is different around here. I do know lots of people around town from my years in oil and gas. I know a lot of business owners on that side of things as well.”
She also has her own store downtown, Jewels and Jems Furniture Redesign, which opened last year, and that has allowed her to meet a lot of people in the retail community. She has experienced what the Mercury can do for a business, particularly a new business.
“A lot of people are stuck in the social media world right now, and don’t realize the benefits from print ads and other things that the Mercury does besides the paper.”
A lifelong Estevan resident, she is proud to live in the community with her family.
