Workplace reviews and discussion: 上古國際藝術股份有限公司

What do you know?

It was all clearly written on my 104 résumé... They probably didn't read it carefully at all.

My advice is not to go at all. If you don't believe me, search online for reviews from people who have worked there.

Interview process:

They called me first, and the conversation already made me feel that the job wasn't suitable.

Right away, they asked whether I intended to work full-time or part-time. I said part-time.

They said their work is very difficult and requires a lot of learning. I said I could provide samples of my work for their reference (after all, I have more than 10 years of experience, so of course I have plenty of work samples).

Then, halfway through the call, they went to answer another phone call... I let that go. Then they asked how I would work with them, so I said I could provide an example based on how I had worked part-time for an internet company in the past.

Then the red flags began:

1. They interrupted me without letting me finish, and insisted that website planning and copywriting were very simple—something their company already handled themselves (hello, is everything okay?). I was talking about the arrangements for working together part-time! And who says website planning and copywriting are simple?

2.

Interview advice:

The employer said: Their company only hires young people for full-time positions, not older people.

Because in the past, older and younger employees had worked together,

and the younger ones looked down on the older ones.

They don't seem to understand how to respect employees. They think they are the most capable and kept emphasizing that I needed to learn, learn, learn. I really don't know what I was supposed to learn, and when I asked them to provide examples, they couldn't provide any.

Times have changed. The boss is really not the most important person in an interview. The arts industry is tough, and people who are willing to invest themselves should be valued. Having good people working and striving together makes it easier for a company to operate smoothly. If people are so self-important, employees keep leaving and being retrained, and good candidates see the reviews and decide not to interview in the first place, how does that help?
