None. The interview experience was extremely unpleasant, and the interviewer showed great disrespect for my professionalism.

I applied for the position of visual, video, and graphic advertising designer at this company. However, the person who interviewed me was not the manager who had reviewed my résumé and notified me about the interview. Instead, another person said that the other manager had an unexpected matter to attend to, so he was filling in for the interview. This interviewer had no understanding whatsoever of the responsibilities described in his own company's job posting. The job titles given to me by the manager who notified me about the interview, the interviewer, HR, and an internal employee were all different. It was very obvious that the company had no consensus at all about the position and its responsibilities as listed on the recruitment website. After I returned home, they immediately changed the job title and salary information in the posting, which was completely absurd.

At the beginning of the interview, the interviewer immediately discussed the salary for newly hired marketing personnel at their company. Even more absurdly, the salary he quoted was completely different from what was publicly posted. He then talked about how the company's salary system provided employees with extensive protection. Right from the start, he asked me to fill out their new-hire personnel form, as if I had already decided to join the company. When I told him that I was applying for the visual, video, and graphic advertising designer position, he insisted that this was essentially a marketing position at their company, and asked whether I could create graphics or use AutoCAD. It was bad enough that they had substitute managers and internal employees conduct the interview; they were also disrespectful of my professional expertise.

What was most disrespectful was that the interviewer simply talked about himself from the beginning and gave me no opportunity to introduce myself. I had to find openings to speak, and he was not even familiar with my professional background as stated on my résumé. The entire interview ended up wasting both sides' time. Later, the internal employee who spoke with me apologized and said that this was an internal issue on their end, so I decided to let it go and treat it as an experience.

However, I advise anyone applying for a graphic or visual designer position to be careful and look into the company from multiple sources. Otherwise, employers may pressure you to accept the salary they offer from the very beginning. Businesspeople can be very skilled with persuasive tactics. In short, I learned—or perhaps merely came to understand—the harsh realities of society. Overall, the experience was extremely unpleasant. In the end, I also asked to take the personnel form with me, since there was no need for them to retain my information anymore.

That said, I want to tell everyone that throughout the entire process, I still responded politely and with a smile. There is no need to make enemies with anyone. So even if the experience is extremely unpleasant, it is still important to maintain your composure. This is how difficult entering the workforce can be!

1. The environment is quiet and fairly pleasant, but it has an old-fashioned rural villa style, similar to the Yan family’s style.

2. There are birthday bonuses and bonuses for the three major traditional holidays; the amounts are fairly good.

Disadvantages

1. Cleaning is done every morning: women clean indoors and men clean outdoors. Because there are many outdoor plants, the amount of fallen leaves is enormous. After sweeping, the plants and flowers also need to be watered. It is hot in summer, and the male colleagues are basically drenched in sweat by the time they finish sweeping. Cleaning and watering take about 40 minutes.

2. The duty roster is divided into two groups, with each group serving for half a month. (Sales staff and supervisors do not need to serve as the person on duty, but since the company does not have many employees, the same few people are assigned repeatedly.)

3. The year-end bonus is less than one month’s salary.

4. There is no overtime pay (overtime is treated as part of the job’s responsibilities).

5. You need to spend a long time interacting and drinking tea with the boss, leaving no time to get work done.

6. The boss’s friends often visit the company, and you have to act as a server by serving tea and washing dishes.

The work environment is quite quiet and secluded, and if you drive, parking is easy.

The company’s address is really quite remote—even Google Maps can’t find it. During the interview, the owner did not conduct the interview personally; they just had a manager from another department fill in. They said the second interview would be conducted personally by the owner. The questions asked also didn’t make much sense, and the whole interview felt confusing and unclear....

When it came to salary, the interviewer was actually left speechless after hearing my current salary (although it is really only around the median). They told me that if my salary was at that level, they would recommend not joining their company because they couldn’t offer that much. As for the actual amount, they only said it definitely wouldn’t be that high, and that the owner and the owner’s wife would still discuss and determine the salary. In addition, the company does not provide an annual bonus; before the Lunar New Year, they only give a small amount of money as a red envelope. The same applies to the three major holidays!

The company environment is beautiful. If you want to try designing handicrafts, it is highly recommended.

The boss seems open-minded and respectful of employees.

The products mainly revolve around cement as a material, so it requires thought and patience to develop new uses or ways of expression.

The workplace is somewhat remote.
