Workplace reviews and discussion: 凱都大飯店_凱都大飯店有限公司

None

I do not know why the interviewer was so arrogant. After telling me to sit down, she did not introduce her surname, form of address, or position, and immediately began criticizing the applicant’s previous work experience. Her tone and wording were very impolite. She aggressively questioned how the company could trust the applicant to work steadily under these circumstances. When the applicant explained the various problems encountered in previous jobs that had resulted in short tenures, the interviewer showed a distrustful expression and continued to speak in a skeptical tone. If the applicant did not want to disclose the facts, they could simply have fabricated a perfect script to get through the interview. After honestly explaining the difficulties encountered in previous employment, being treated with such distrust felt extremely unpleasant.

First of all, the applicant did not actively apply for a position at this hotel. Presumably because the résumé included previous hotel work experience, the applicant was proactively invited to attend an interview. I prepared very seriously for the interview, researched information about the hotel in advance, carefully revised my autobiography, printed it out, and brought it to the interview. I truly do not understand why the applicant had to be treated with this kind of humiliation. The interviewer, a woman, conducted the entire interview with her arms crossed and an attitude of looking down her nose at people. This was not even a chain five-star hotel or some international corporate group, yet I was completely dumbfounded by the experience.

The job duties were presented as if they were very easy, and not much was said about the company’s benefits. The interviewer seemed very concerned about scheduling and days off, repeatedly confirming whether I could cooperate with rotating shifts. However, the job description on the recruitment website did not state that rotating shifts were required. (If this had been specified, the applicant would have politely declined the interview beforehand.) The starting salary offered was lower than the industry standard—under 30K for a night-shift position. The salary adjustment was also not substantial. The interviewer only mentioned that there would be one adjustment after three months and said nothing further. She also did not mention whether there were tips or bonuses.

In addition, there were no detailed professional questions related to hotel operations, and the job responsibilities were not clearly explained. The applicant personally felt that this interview was a waste of time, and was inexplicably criticized and humiliated. The experience was extremely poor. To this day, I still do not know the interviewer’s surname (and I do not want to ask again; I only wanted to end the interview and leave as quickly as possible).

Because of the interviewer’s arrogant and unprofessional attitude, the applicant will no longer consider any positions at this company. I am sharing this firsthand interview experience for other job seekers’ reference.
