WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A recent survey of motorcoach drivers found that the most important factor they consider is company status over salary.
The survey, conducted by online job board MotorCoachJobs.com, asked drivers what kind of information they’re seeking during their job search, where they’re looking for jobs and their expectations after applying.
The main findings were:
- When looking for a job, 27 percent said the most important factor they consider is the company and its status, while 25 percent prioritize the salary.
- During the research phase, 47 percent use online job boards and 42 percent rely on word of mouth as sources to find out about jobs.
- Most prefer to schedule an in-person meeting with the company and expect to hear back within one-week of applying.
“Several conclusions can be garnered from our survey,” said Kyle Westhorpe of MotorCoachJobs.com. “Those looking to hire in this challenging environment should look at online advertising options as well as writing detailed job descriptions that highlight what applicants consider important, such as fleet and company achievements.”
