This post was submitted by a user and reflects their personal experience or opinion. The publication date is not an employment or interview date.
The position interviewed for was a web designer role.
The year-end bonus consists of many months’ salary, and the HR representative was friendly.
The interview consisted of three stages: the first was a casual conversation with HR; the second was conducted by a designer and an F2E; if there was a third stage, it should have been with the hiring manager.
The worst part of the experience was… the job description on 104 was very different from the actual job duties. HR repeatedly said that a candidate would only be contacted after the candidate’s résumé/portfolio had been reviewed by the manager. However, upon reaching the second stage, I found that there was a major discrepancy. I don’t know where the problem arose.
104 job description:
1. Collect and analyze requirements, and comprehensively plan the front-end/back-end architecture of websites.
2. Write functional specification documents and UI flows for the front end and back end, and create wireframes, mockups, and UI prototypes.
3. Plan website operation flows and ensure smooth use across different devices (computers/tablets/phones). This includes planning, implementation, and maintenance of front-end/back-end functions, processes, and user flows, etc.
4. Manage and maintain websites.
5. Collaborate with planners, UI/UX designers, engineers, and other relevant personnel to jointly execute projects.
→ In the end, the designer and F2E said that this job was simply maintaining the official website: putting the information about new products provided by the PM onto the official website and “thinking about how to present it so that users can understand it more easily.” There was no analysis, no prototyping, and no specification documents…
For this type of job, when reviewing the candidate list, the manager should only invite people whose experience with branding projects matches the desired style. If the words “official website maintenance” had been written in the posting, applicants would have known whether they should apply, instead of wasting their time for nothing… Without that clarification, I thought it involved designing the interface for NAS cloud-management features…
