A small company with a great deal of flexibility. The boss’s wife enjoys cooking and is quite good at it. There are sometimes snacks or drinks. The master has a very good attitude, occasionally makes small jokes, and is easy to get along with.
The salary plus allowances totals NT$30,000, which is above average in Yilan.
You are solely responsible for cleaning the workplace, and have to spend an hour cleaning every morning before starting work.
Sometimes you need to help the master move air conditioners and similar items, which requires physical strength (around 25 kg).
You cannot dress too casually.
When the boss’s friends come, you need to make coffee and tea and attend to them.
Because the company has some inside information, Facebook posts can hardly be used for brand marketing, and Rakuten cannot be used for Facebook marketing either. You need to think in advance about how you will handle this and how you will report to the boss and his wife at the end of each month.
When answering the phone, you need to remember to write down anything important. Even if a customer hangs up on you, you still have to find a way to resolve the matter.
The boss’s wife does not really like turning on the air conditioner. Many times in summer, the air conditioner is not turned on until the boss arrives at work.
The boss and his wife are not very receptive to your suggestions; their relatives and friends have the most influence.
The boss does not like people interrupting him when he talks and may tell you to stop talking, so you need a certain level of emotional intelligence.
The boss’s wife has a relatively impatient personality, which also requires emotional intelligence.
In short, things go well when the boss and his wife are happy; when they are unhappy, you are on your own.
Regardless of whether you do a good job or not, or how much time you spend, they may even say that you copied something from the internet. You need a strong heart and cannot be overly sensitive. If you make a mistake at the beginning, they may lecture you for a long time (up to two hours). Later, you need to learn how to end the conversation yourself; otherwise, the time you waste will make the boss and his wife feel that you are inefficient at your work.
