FIRST UNION MORTGAGE TO ADD JOBS AT CENTER

First Union Mortgage Corp. said Thursday it will double the number of jobs at its regional mortgage center in Virginia Beach, adding 55 new positions immediately and probably more in 1994.

Salaries for the 55 new jobs will range from $18,000 to $35,000, representing an annual payroll of about $1.5 million. Positions include mortgage underwriters, originating loan officers, closing specialists and mortgage loan processors.

The center, which employs 58, processes applications from residents of Virginia; Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and the Boston area. First Union has operated the center since 1986.

First Union Mortgage Corp. is a subsidiary of First Union Corp., as is Roanoke-based First Union National Bank of Virginia.
