The sales manager is indeed classless, always insulting other people’s mothers!
“Interview experience”
Before the interview, I took a personality assessment and a Chinese-to-English translation test.
The HR representative was friendly and gentle, introduced the services offered by 特升, and discussed the interviewee’s previous work experience in detail.
The procurement manager was very straightforward and easygoing, without beating around the bush (I personally really admire easygoing women XD).
Although I wasn’t hired, it was still a pleasant interview experience.
Before parking, ask the administrator what would be more appropriate.
As long as you’re at the company, someone will regularly help order boxed lunches.
The company’s website says that it represents more than 20 brands, but in reality, only 7 or 8 brands have signed agency agreements; for the others, they purchase goods from industry peers and traders, and have bought counterfeit products before. Moreover, they do not actually have a Hong Kong office, so they cannot confirm the status of shipments immediately.
The company has approximately 16–18 employees, with around 6 in sales. The sales manager is truly classless and is always insulting other people’s mothers!
1. The HR lady was very kind.
2. Judging from the company overview, the company seems to be fairly large.
3. The company has no culture of working overtime.
1. Before the interview, I had to write a very complicated personal résumé and career plan. During the interview, I also had to take an English test (Chinese to English translation), which was very time-consuming.
2. All decisions, big or small, had to be made after consulting the business manager.
3. The supervisor had extremely poor EQ. “Fuck” was frequently on their lips, which was far below the standard expected of a manager.
4. The company was sales-oriented. A meeting was held every Monday to review performance and individual schedule presentations. The supervisor would occasionally remind us during meetings or by email: “If you can’t do what the company wants, appropriate action will be taken,” or “The product line PM or customers will be reassigned to someone else,” or there would be a pay cut.
5. An extremely snobbish company and sales assistant; they spoke in a very obnoxious manner.
6. The employee turnover rate was high.
7. During the interview, they said there would be an annual salary adjustment. However, based on the long-term experience of senior employees, there was no annual salary adjustment. The business manager would even say, “Don’t come to me about the annual performance review.”
The HR representative was quite nice.
I interviewed for the position of Sales Specialist. Before the interview, in addition to the basic information, I was asked to answer many questions, such as what I found most rewarding, my views on management styles, and which part of a company's policies I cared about most. There were about 10 questions.
Next, after the initial interview with HR, I was asked to speak with the department manager. This so-called department manager came in with an expression that seemed to say, "Why would HR bring this person in?" Then, looking displeased and puzzled, they repeatedly flipped through the basic information I had filled out. They lowered their head and said, "Please briefly introduce yourself first," making it obvious that they had not looked at my information beforehand. After I finished introducing myself, they again lowered their head and said, "Do you have any other questions?" while continuing to flip through the documents with a sour expression, as if they did not want to talk to me. I did not really feel like asking anything either, so that was it.
I think that perhaps this so-called "sales manager" is very capable at their job, but toward job applicants who have no connection to their interests, they do not even have the basic courtesy to put on an act. Fortunately, I was later notified that I had not been selected; otherwise, I really would not have wanted to encounter a manager like that.
