Working at Greyhound

The next class is about recruiting and jobs. This is a great topic to talk about since one, I am in need of a summer job or internship real bad, and two, Greyhound employs A LOT of people. Especially in big cities, they need more employees. I believe that Greyhound hires and looks for candidates of a wide range background. There are so many departments you can go into.

At the Greyhound in New York City, their terminal is huge and a lot of people work there. You have front desk people who answers your questions, and help you with ticket inquiries. I also see luggage carriers, maintenance people, concierges, customer service, and most important; the bus drivers. Each of their duties are different, but they all work for the same company and are there to assist the travelers.

When I am on the Greyhound website, I can navigate through it very easily. I scroll down to the bottom of the page and can find a link for employment and careers. From there on, you can select the location you would like to work in, the job title and description. Many big companies have these links on the bottom of their homepage which makes it easier to recruit employees and for us to apply. Although the economy is bad, many jobs are still being offered - such as Greyhound!
