1. The HR manager and other employees are very polite. The female owner was busy and temporarily unable to come out for the interview, so the HR staff took turns coming out to chat with you, worried that you might develop a negative impression.
2. There was not much negotiation over the salary you requested.
3. The person in charge of the hotel spoke with you directly and gave you a general explanation of the job duties, as well as her desired direction and ideas. She also took you on a tour of the areas you would later be responsible for handling.
4. You can leave work early.
5. During the three major holidays, the company provides product discount coupons, with the employee price calculated after applying the company’s public discount price.
1. To attend the interview, you must exchange your identification at the driveway to the underground parking lot beside the hotel, then take the stairs from a small parking-lot entrance to the second floor. The area from the stairs to the second floor was extremely dark and so old that I wondered whether I had somehow traveled back more than forty years.
2. The previous designer apparently had some urgent, undisclosed matter requiring them to resign in great haste, and the timing was so sudden that it was difficult not to wonder about it.
3. When reporting for work, one of the required documents is an agreement that you must sign consenting to job transfers. This was not proactively mentioned during the interview, inevitably raising concerns that one person might be expected to handle everything.
4. There is no lunch break, no lunch break, no lunch break—it is important, so I’ll say it three times. You only have half an hour to eat, and you have to find an opportunity to eat at the restaurant yourself.
5. There is only one person in the hiring department, and work progress and arrangements are reported directly to the hotel’s highest-ranking person—the female owner. Therefore, it can be inferred that taking days off or requesting leave (personal leave, sick leave, or last-minute leave) may be extremely troublesome, because your substitute is the owner herself.
I was notified that I had been hired, but based on all of the above, I ultimately chose to decline the offer.
