Workplace reviews and discussion: 吉帝旅行社有限公司

I really can’t think of any.

Sorry.

There are already plenty of comments online about the drawbacks of interviewing with this company, so I’m just adding a few more details.

At first, regardless of the position, everyone is taken to a place with desks and chairs to fill out basic information and take a personality test.

If you are applying for an administrative position,

they may also ask you to write some copy on the spot.

Will you have to wait after finishing the paperwork?

Yes, you will,

until she comes back to call you,

but I didn’t wait as long as the other commenters online did.

I waited about 30 minutes.

The position I interviewed for was overseas tour leader.

I was taken to a large room that looked like the general manager’s office,

and the interviewer and I sat at a conference table in front of the office desk.

The interviewer was extremely young,

probably under 30.

It felt like they had simply been placed there to serve as the first line of defense.

The interviewer only asked two or three scattered questions,

such as: Where have you mainly led tours in the past? Do you have any licenses or certifications? Why did you apply to our company?

Then they asked: So, do you have any questions?

Questions?

I had a whole lot of questions!

We hadn’t discussed anything yet, had we?

Salary?

The terms of cooperation?

You don’t want to hear about my past tour-leading experience?!

Are you trying to rush through everyone because you took on too many applicants?

Based on experience, I knew this definitely meant my qualifications didn’t meet their requirements.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have moved on so quickly.

At that point, I didn’t have much hope,

and I even felt that not getting the job might be better,

because this company’s way of recruiting is essentially like blindly firing in all directions,

and the way they operate is highly questionable.

I even had to take a bus all the way north.

In conclusion, when this company invites people to interview,

it does not conduct any screening beforehand.

They simply call everyone in,

which makes things more convenient for them.

But honestly,

the interview questions were extremely simple and very few in number.

If they had confirmed things by phone beforehand,

I wouldn’t have had to go there in person at all.

This only wastes other people’s time and money,

and also needlessly consumes the company’s personnel resources.

The HR staff call people,

and the interviewers conduct the interviews,

with very little efficiency or structure.

There are 5–7 people in each time slot.

From what I observed, they bring in one group every half hour...

So, should you go to the interview or not?

I suggest thinking it over carefully.

If you don’t really want the job,

you can decisively decline.
