Update one month later: Today I received a call from Supervisor Chen in HR, who called to apologize.
I don't know whether it was because, as he said, other colleagues who were present reported it,
or whether he saw this article. All I can say is thank you; you put a lot of thought into it.
Assistant Manager Zhan was extremely disrespectful during the interview.
He acted superior and sneered while looking at other people's résumés.
I pointed out to him that the application location was different from the work location.
At first, he insisted that I must have read it wrong. I showed him the 104 listing to confirm it, and it really was incorrect.
He replied, “Does it matter? Is it important?” He said he was responsible for many job openings under him or something like that.
The interview lasted almost 20 minutes, and he asked a whole lot about my family background.
Who I live with, how many people, which floor, whether it was a detached house, what my siblings are like, and so on.
Was I applying for an operator position, or for a security guard position?
The only thing I managed to ask was whether the job involved operating semi-automated machines and
that the work location was here, not the location originally listed.
We didn't discuss the salary, benefits, working hours, meals, job duties, or anything else.
Then he started criticizing me, saying that I had only one year of experience as an operator and so on.
Working at a convenience store is a job that requires no technical skills; what will happen to you when you get old in a few years?
He said he wanted someone who could advance, produce perfect results, and handle quality control.
I was completely confused. You posted this as an operator position,
but what you said sounded as though you were looking for a management trainee, a supervisor, or something similar.
I replied, “How do you know I can't advance and learn?”
If, after the probationary period, you think I don't meet the requirements, then just ask me to leave.
My work experience is clearly stated on my résumé.
If I wasn't qualified, why did you invite me to interview in the first place?
Only after I confronted him in person about my dissatisfaction and the issues above
did he ask whether I wanted to see how the machinery was operated or something like that.
It felt like a subordinate had been sent to conduct the interview while the supervisor just sat at work looking at résumés.
I have interviewed with more than ten companies, and this was the first time
I simply ended the interview, took back my résumé, and decided there was nothing more to discuss.
If the company believes this is untrue or defamatory, I recorded the entire interview.
