Workplace reviews and discussion: 久晴服飾有限公司

I don't think there were any.

An extremely rude company.

The company proactively sent me an interview invitation through a job-search website, asking whether I was interested. After reading the job description, I agreed to go.

During the pandemic, they conducted in-person interviews, and the interview took place on the first floor of the company building, with people constantly coming and going.

There were three interviewers: one very young person and two more senior employees. The first thing they said when I arrived was not to greet me (the interviewee), but to walk over while holding my résumé, sit down, and ask the young employee: “Why did you invite him here for an interview?”

Clearly, they had not done any preparation. It also felt as though the young employee had sent out the interview invitation just to meet a quota, because during my interview, the other two kept scolding that employee: “Why are you sending out invitations randomly? Why are you being so careless with your work?”

The interviewers also did not ask me to introduce myself. They immediately began asking questions such as: “Have you ever worked in the clothing industry? How are your photography skills? Do you understand marketing?” and so on.

I applied for a graphic design and marketing position. The website said that recent graduates were welcome to apply, required at least a high school education, and asked for one year or more of work experience. The salary was indeed pitifully low—at the level typically offered to entry-level fresh graduates.

However, the company expected you to handle:

1. Professional photography (setting up the lights and managing the studio alone, without an assistant), as well as professional photo retouching

2. All of the company’s graphic and visual design

3. Operating and updating the online store

4. Brand marketing and event planning

5. Copywriting

6. Warehouse management

7. Other tasks assigned by supervisors, and so on... the list goes on

One of the interviewers also asked: “Can your photography skills enable you to complete a fashion shoot by yourself?”

I answered honestly: “I have studied photography, but I’m not a professional photographer. However, I’m enthusiastic about learning and researching photography techniques.”

Interviewer: “Then where will you learn? No one at our company will train you. How long will it take before you can work independently? What will you do if you can’t meet the company’s

requirements?”

Well, there’s no need to say much more. That is simply this company’s attitude.

In short, they want to pay you a meager entry-level salary while making you do 99% of the company’s work.

Throughout the interview, they repeatedly showed disdain toward the interviewee, along with an air of pride and superiority about their own company.

Finally, the interviewer said to me: “Although our company is short-staffed, we’re not in a hurry.”

Okay ^-^, I think they’ve already been short-staffed for more than three months.

I have already successfully found a job myself.

I just feel that, no matter what, there is no need to treat people this way. If an interviewee doesn’t meet the company’s needs, couldn’t they simply thank each other and wish each other well? This interview lasted for more than an hour—were they treating the interviewee as entertainment?

I also hope everyone will absolutely avoid interviewing with this company, and especially avoid working there!! Indulging companies like this will only make Taiwan’s workplace environment increasingly worse.
