Customers are still the best teachers.
 
~How long have you been a taxi driver? ~
It will be the 6th year including the nursing taxi.

- Why do you want to become a taxi driver?were you there? ~
I used to work for a nursing care taxi company instead of Heiwa Kotsu.
I love this industry because meeting and talking with many customers encourages my growth.
Also, it's a full commission, so it's nice to be able to get paid for your hard work.

~Why did you choose this company among many taxi companies? ~
I changed jobs from a first-class hotel to a nursing-care taxi, and managed the Heiwa Kotsu night stand for about two years while continuing to work.
I was surprised that customers who boarded the taxi did not take the taxi in front of them, but walked to the Heiwa platform even on rainy days.
Besides, I decided to choose this company if I wanted to become a taxi driver because the drivers are all good people.

~How much do you earn? ~
I'll leave it to your imagination.In the future, it is expected that the cost of educating children will increase as they graduate from university, so I think that I will have to do my best in the future.

-Tell me about the good things about this job-
It is the point of complete meritocracy.
I was from Sendai, but at first I had a hard time because I didn't understand the detailed geography.Many customers have taught me every corner, such as shortcuts and back roads, and now I am proud that I can run the best route as a professional.As our understanding of geography deepens, our sales will naturally increase, so I'm happy to see our growth.

Also, it's a short time, but it's a lot of fun to talk with customers.Every day is fresh because I can hear stories from various customers.
Of course, I am human, so I sometimes make mistakes, but even in such a situation, if I can have a pleasant conversation with the next customer, I can easily change my mind.

~Can an inexperienced person become a taxi driver? ~
I was also worried when I first started, but I received solid training and many seniors taught me.
Customers are still the best teachers.
 

[Name] Kazue Suzuki [Age]?[Previous job] Sales office

Since I can communicate while riding, I have met a lot of people since I started doing this job.
 
~ Please tell me the decisive factor that chose this job? ~
Until now, I've been looking for a job in clerical work because I've focused on jobs where I can make the most of my qualifications.At that time, full-time employees were very narrow gates, soI thought that a taxi driver would suit me,I applied to Heiwa Kotsu, which has a lot of support for women.In fact, since I got this job, I feel like I'm a good fit.

-What do you enjoy about this job? ~
Every day is fun listening to stories from people of all ages.In addition, since it is a day shift, many of the customers are elderly and they really need a taxi.When I get off the train with a smile and say, "Thank you," I think I'm glad that I'm doing this job.

~ What is the most attractive part of the company? ~
I like the fact that I can work at my own pace, such as when I take time off for personal work or when I have to switch jobs.What I learned after joining the company is that Heiwa Kotsu has a high retention rate.
 
~Please give a message to women who are going to work from now on? ~
I never thought this job was particularly difficult.It's a little hard when you have free time that comes occasionally from time to time, isn't it?... (laughs) Now I'm glad I took the plunge and took on this job!It's an ant to try to act without anxiety ♬
