■If you hire by dispatch! How to identify a proper interview for a driver
Now is the time to hire executive car drivers by dispatch. However, I'm worried about leaving the driving to someone who doesn't know what kind of person it is. How can you tell the driver's aptitude? This time, I will introduce what points you should keep in mind during the interview.
■ Sudden absenteeism is NG! Diligence
One of the merits of using temporary staffing is that "when and as much as you need". To put it the other way around, it doesn't make sense if you can't use it when you need it. First, make sure you have a solid sense of professionalism in your work. Absence without permission is out of the question, but as a member of society, make sure that you are a member of society, such as how much you manage your physical condition on a daily basis and whether you are punctual. It is even better to have diligence, such as learning the way and studying the business of the company you are hired on a regular basis.
■ Closed room while driving! Whether you have the ability to communicate with people
While driving, the time I spend alone with the driver is more uncomfortable than I expected. In the car, you often use your smartphone to work or check materials, but on the other hand, the inside of the car is a little break time between work. You may discover new ideas and discoveries by slightly switching your work brain here. In such a case, a smart driver will call out at the right time. A person with high communication skills is not a person who is good at speaking, but a person who can read the "between" of the other person. It is a so-called "person who can read the air". When you don't want to talk, you keep silent, and when you want to take a break, you go out with a light conversation. I would like to choose a driver with such ability.
■ Whether you have a drinking habit or a fighting habit
Finally, make sure you don't have a drinking habit. I'm not saying it's bad to drink, but the driver and alcohol are the most incompatible combination. As a result of drinking too much the day before, alcohol remained and I was caught by drunk driving ... I can not see it. It is out of the question for those who are drunk and indiscriminately violent or who have a fighting habit from the beginning. Basically, it is safer to choose a person who does not drink alcohol. If not, people who can drink only on holidays and people who can drink alcohol with moderation are good. If you fail to select a driver, it will have a negative effect on you, so you should be very careful.

■What are the working hours of an executive driver?
The job of an executive driver allows you to interact closely with people in high positions, such as the company president. For this reason, some people may be interested in this job. So let's take a look at how many hours an executive driver works in a day.
■Executive driver's work content
If you are aiming to become an executive driver, first let's understand the basic work content. The basic job of an executive driver is to get the executives in charge into the car and transport them to their destination. In addition to transporting them from home to the company, you will be responsible for driving in all situations where the executives move, such as business meetings, golf entertainment, and social gatherings. Since you will be responsible for the lives of the executives, who are important people in the company, it can be said that this is a job that comes with heavy responsibility. Compared to other driver jobs, the waiting time is longer, but internal maintenance and route confirmation while waiting are also part of the job. In addition, executive drivers may be employed by the company or belong to a dispatch company. In the case of in-house employment, the company you work for is fixed, but in the case of a dispatch company, the working style will change depending on the dispatch destination.
■Average working hours of an executive driver
Executive drivers basically work 8 hours a day. Including a one-hour break, you will likely be on duty for an average of nine hours. Working hours are the same as for employees of other companies, generally from 9:00 to 18:00. However, there are many cases where you will be on duty outside of normal working hours. For example, if an executive entertains a client on a golf outing on a holiday, you will be on duty from morning to evening to drive the executive to the golf course. There are also times when you will be on duty unexpectedly. For example, if a client suddenly passes away, the executive will also attend the wake. Therefore, the executive driver must drive the executive to the wake venue. In this case, the time from when the executive attends the wake to when he returns home will be taken care of.
■Driving hours per day
The executive driver drives the car when he drives the executive to and from work. When the executive comes to work, the executive driver drives him to and from work. In that case, the executive driver will generally visit the executive's home and then take the executive to and from work. Depending on the distance, you will probably drive for about one to two hours. The executive driver will also drive the executive to and from work when he finishes his work for the day. Therefore, the driver will be driving for at least 2 to 4 hours a day. In addition, when the executive goes out to visit a client, the driver will drive the executive to the destination. In such cases, the driving time per day will be about 1 to 2 hours more. When the executive travels domestically or internationally by airplane, the executive driver must drive the executive to the airport. In this case, depending on the distance to the airport, the driving time per day will be significantly longer.
■Daily standby time
Executive drivers are on standby during work hours other than when they are driving the executive. During standby time, they generally check the executive's schedule and engage in cleaning and maintenance work on the car. Another important task of an executive driver is to make sure that the executive can work comfortably and with peace of mind. Therefore, these tasks are just as important as driving the executive. An executive driver's daily standby time is the time he or she is on duty minus the driving time per day. The average on-duty time of an executive driver is 9 hours, and the normal driving time per day is about 2 to 4 hours, so the daily standby time is generally about 5 to 7 hours. However, if the driving time increases due to the executive going out during work, the waiting time per day will be reduced accordingly.
■The daily flow of an executive driver
Here, let's take a look at the daily flow from picking up the executive at home to dropping him off after work. First, pick up the executive's car at the company at 7:00 a.m. and head to the executive's home. Pick up the executive at 8:00 a.m. and arrive at the company at 9:00 a.m. The waiting time begins at 9:00 a.m., and the next time the driver heads to the client is at 11:00 a.m. The driver arrives at the client at 11:30 a.m., has lunch, picks up the executive again at 1:30 p.m., and returns to the company at 2:00 p.m. The waiting time begins again, and at 5:00 p.m., the driver picks up the executive who finished work and drops him off at his home at 6:00 p.m. After that, the executive's car is returned to the garage, cleaned and inspected, and the driving log is completed, and work is finished. If the executive is late due to circumstances and misses the last train, the driver may go directly home in the executive's car.
■Can an executive driver work on a daily basis?
Many people are wondering whether executive drivers can work on a daily basis. Drivers employed by a company basically work full-time. Therefore, it will be difficult to work on a short-term basis such as on a daily basis. On the other hand, driver dispatch companies have a system called spot contracts. A spot contract is a service that uses a driver dispatch on a one-off basis, rather than on a monthly or yearly basis like a regular contract. In other words, if you register with a driver dispatch company, you may be able to work on a daily basis through a spot contract.
■How you spend your waiting time is important for an executive driver's day
Executive drivers are on duty for about 9 hours a day, but this can be longer depending on the executive's circumstances. Also, since there are many days when the waiting time is longer than the driving time, it can be said that how you spend your waiting time is important. It is important to make efforts to make executives feel comfortable during their travel time, such as cleaning the interior of the car and checking the route in advance. Also, if you register with a dispatch company, you may be able to work on a daily basis, so if you want to work flexibly, you should register.

■What is the difference in ability between executive drivers, men and women?
When considering hiring an executive driver, if you had the choice of a male driver or a female driver, you might be wondering which is better. Which is better? I summarized the characteristics of male drivers and female drivers.
■ Is driving ability and a sense of stability attractive? Male driver
There has always been a strong image that men are good at driving a car. This seems to be the case because men generally have more opportunities and time to drive a car. However, if you become a driving professional like a dispatched driver, the story is different. Now it seems that both men and women have the same driving skills. However, if you panic, men may be able to deal with it a little more calmly. Male drivers tend to re-schedule relatively calmly and logically, even if there is a sudden change in schedule. Also, as a male-specific tendency, mood may always appear to be stable. That sense of stability may lead to a sense of security for the officers on board.
■ Is the calm atmosphere attractive? Female driver
Recently, women have been actively expanding into society, and the driver industry is no exception. Many people are active as professional drivers. Isn't that driving skill comparable to men? Now that driving skills are on a par with men, what is the unique appeal of female drivers? It may be a calm atmosphere that is always full of kindness. Even if you open and close the door, you will feel graceful and kind as a woman. If you feel like it, you may have a lively conversation within the company. If the officer is a man, the female driver will be in a good mood and the mouth will be loose. The appeal of female drivers is that they create such a calm atmosphere.
■ Judging by personality and characteristics rather than looking at gender!
It turned out that men are likely to have a sense of stability as men, and women are likely to have a warm atmosphere full of tenderness. Both men and women are likely to have their own good points. Also, as already introduced, there is no difference in driving skills between men and women when they are professional drivers these days. If you are learning business etiquette and knowledge of road conditions through training, it seems that there is not much difference between men and women. So what exactly should we choose based on? In the end, isn't it the human nature of the driver? If you become a welcome driver, you will meet every day from the morning. It is best to choose a person who can be casually attentive without being unpleasant even when talking, and it can be said that the humanity of that person is more important than men and women.
