【Q8 News Website Editor/Planner】

The group interview allowed us to hear many people’s project presentations and speaking styles, which was a good opportunity to learn from one another.

They have strong principles.

The pay is quite good.

The boss and CEO are fairly honest.

1. It’s a startup, so perhaps resources are limited. Although the position is titled Website Editor/Planner, it also involves handling a large amount of online consultation customer service. Basically, it cannot be considered a normal editor/planner position—you have to deal with the high volume of inquiries first before having time to work on planning. It feels like you are expected to regard yourself as a professional customer service and consultation representative (since it is in the medical industry, nurses are especially suitable), with planning as an “additional” duty.

2. After work, you have to constantly check whether there are important messages requiring immediate attention. This is understandable, but not something everyone can accept.

3. The boss is a doctor and seems to have very little patience. He may scold employees to the point of causing psychological distress, so those who are emotionally sensitive should consider carefully.

4. Interview process: At the beginning, we were asked to submit a project proposal online. It seemed that no one had been screened online, and dozens of people were divided into several group interviews. The applicants’ qualifications varied widely, each person was given little time, and it was unlikely that the company could understand the applicants’ personalities—especially when each person had only a little over ten minutes. The first few people to present were particularly unlucky and became guinea pigs. Although the email asked us to focus our presentations on website planning, at the interview they complained that we had not prepared presentations specifically addressing consultations and personality traits. Those who presented later were luckier because they could use the earlier presentations as a reference and adjust their oral presentations and self-promotion to focus on what the bosses wanted. However, this was very unfair to those who presented first. Overall, I felt it was an inefficient group interview, and that this approach would only drive away good planning talent.
