1. The work environment looks quite comfortable and impressive.
I skipped applying to this company when I saw the application requirements while submitting résumés and felt that I was not suitable. However, they found my résumé on the job site and invited me to an interview.
1. The interview was arranged by phone, which felt rather casual.
For other similar positions I found, they either sent a message through the job site or sent the information directly to my email through the job site (possibly also accompanied by LINE or a phone call, but there was always a record that could be checked to prevent forgetting). This was the only company that told me the time and location by phone and expected me to remember them myself.
When I received the call, I was taking public transportation... I asked them to send an email, but they said they could not. Although it was not as if I would actually forget, it still... made me question how careful this company is.
2. They invite people to apply themselves, then question those people’s abilities.
As I mentioned above, I did not apply to this company (at least I do not remember doing so, and I checked my application records on the job site and confirmed that I had not applied). They were the ones who called me. However, during the interview, they asked questions with an attitude that seemed to say, “This person’s abilities are inadequate, huh? (laugh).” Throughout the entire process, the interviewer had a very displeased expression, as though I had come to the wrong place.
...Wait, I included a portfolio, didn’t I? My abilities are all laid out in my résumé and portfolio, aren’t they? And I didn’t apply to you, did I??? So what exactly are you upset about?
3. Even after finishing the written test, you still have to go out and find someone yourself to tell them that you are done.
At other companies, they either tell you the time of the written test and someone comes when the time is up, or you call an extension after finishing. This was the only company that seemed to forget about the job applicant.
