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

The following is an attempt to reconstruct the interview process and dialogue as accurately as possible, without emotional wording or subjective commentary.

At the interview, the “general manager” conducted the interview, accompanied by two senior employees, three people in total. They appeared to be approximately 50–60 years old.

The general manager did most of the talking, while the other two appeared to be there mainly as supporting participants.

When the general manager spoke, one of them would unconsciously nod in agreement.

The interview was scheduled with the company for exactly 10:00. I arrived at 9:48.

The general manager’s first words were:

You’re late.

One of the employees spoke up and said that it was scheduled for 10:00.

The general manager said:

“Is that so? Could I have remembered incorrectly? I also scheduled an interview with someone from Cathay, so wouldn’t the times overlap?”

“You graduated from a certain XX department. Why would you want to do this? Isn’t that field and leisure-related work very popular now?”

During the conversation with the general manager, when asking about the job duties, the general manager emphasized that our brand is very expensive.

Applicants need to have basic knowledge of clothing.

When I asked what “basic knowledge of clothing” meant, the following was a summary of the conversation with the general manager:

“Because the items are expensive and have a high unit price, we need to inspect the stitching or the neckline of the outsourced garments, and whether the neckline can fit over the head. Someone with experience doesn’t even need to try them on. If some of the outsourced work is done well, there’s no need to trim the loose threads at all.”

“You would essentially have to relearn everything. Experience in apparel pattern making would be even better. Since you have no experience, the salary is NT$30,000.”

※The “job-search website” listing only mentioned packing and inspection—work content even more basic than fast-fashion online retail—and did not clearly state that a degree in clothing or apparel was required, nor provide information about pattern makers or related work experience.
