Seriously Passionate Crew Member Recruitment - Season 3
Even if you're inexperienced, please feel free to join!
It's hard to make a decision immediately just by being told that, isn't it?
That's why these aren't just information sessions, but "consultation events" where we listen to your concerns and think about your future together.
Many drivers who started with no experience are now highly successful.
We offer comprehensive support for a secure life, primarily focusing on relocation to Okayama and Setouchi.
If you still have any concerns, please let us know on the day of the event.
We look forward to your most casual visit, in a 'seriously passionate' way.
