鴻禧國際旅行社有限公司

1. You can learn the duties of both a tour manager and a tour leader at the same time.

2. Leading tours is a lot of fun.

1. Exhausting.

2. Getting chewed out by veterans (tour managers and tour leaders).

3. Later on, you may be required to become a tour leader, and your pay will be changed to a daily wage.

Free meals

Slightly more days off than usual

The people you work with are students, so things are relatively simple

Strong bonds develop among people in the same cohort

You cannot arrange your schedule freely, and it is difficult to take leave.

It is difficult living together with people who have different lifestyles.

Long working hours and little sleep.

Short meal breaks

Attending a meeting the day before is unpaid.

The boxed lunches provided for camping are unappetizing.

Sometimes you are assigned to work in another location and need to stay overnight the day before; this is also unpaid.

Lower pay during winter and summer vacations.

Many long-time employees use their seniority to intimidate others.

A lot of strange remarks and opinions.

Teachers are given too much importance; students' feelings should be what matters most.

Overall: I wouldn't say it is bad, but this is the strangest job I have ever had.

1. Water and small snacks are provided.

2. The floor layout is explained in great detail.

3. Five weeks of employee training are provided.

1. When I called, I had already stated that I was mainly interested in an office-based position. However, when I arrived, I was told that there were no longer any openings, and the office-related positions on the standard application form were simply crossed out.

2. The HR department clearly had not carefully reviewed the job seekers’ information on the recruitment website and was just contacting people indiscriminately.

3. Even if you are interested in sales or customer service, you will be asked questions about tour leading and tour guiding during the interview.

4. The working hours are long, and you are only paid when there are assignments, so the income is neither stable nor substantial. You should really consider working there only if you are passionate about it.

5. Although employee training is provided and they mention that a “signing bonus” will be paid during the training period, they do not explain how much you would have to pay if you changed your mind. If you are interested in going there for an interview, remember to ask about this and make sure you understand the terms, so that you do not regret it later but find it difficult to leave.

The company is located in a rather old commercial building and appears to occupy two floors. On the day of the interview, there was also a group joint recruitment event. Since the position applied for was different, I went directly to the fourth floor for the interview (the joint recruitment event was on the fourth floor), where I first had to fill out an interview information form and answer some short-answer questions.

The personal information form for the interview was extremely detailed. It required listing even whether you are vegetarian, your nickname, and the ages, birthdays, and occupations of all your family members.

There were quite a lot of short-answer questions:

．Setbacks and difficulties encountered, sense of achievement, and takeaways from your previous job

．What was the most difficult thing you have encountered in life?

．What books do you usually read, and what book have you read recently? Share its content.

．A person you admire and why

．Your future plans for this job

Just filling out the personnel information form and answering the short-answer questions took quite a lot of time.

After the interview with the department supervisor, there were also interviews with supervisors from other departments.

The work operates under a responsibility-based system, with no bonuses for the three major holidays. There is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box, and the year-end bonus depends on performance.

During the interview, I heard that the OP administrative position in the Study Tour Department seems to require regularly working overtime until 9 p.m., but it offers performance bonuses and dinner.

Many of the employees there have been working there since they graduated—or even before graduating—and there are many long-time employees, so… well…

See the advantages

1. Everyone is very warm and welcoming to job applicants.

2. Snacks and tea are provided.

1. When I called to ask whether they were interested in interviewing me, I asked what positions were available. I told them I was more interested in an internal office position, and they said they had one. I said I hoped there was a position in travel planning, and they said there was one as well, making it sound as though they were really short-staffed. On the day of the interview, HR said there were no internal office positions available. Do they think job applicants are idiots?

2. The interviewing manager had a very arrogant attitude.

3. At the beginning, the company introduction sounded a lot like a direct-selling pitch.

Overall, I felt that I had been tricked into coming to the interview.

What I wanted and what they offered were completely different.

None

1. I was randomly contacted to attend, and the briefing included people who had just completed military service, fresh graduates, and people with several years of work experience. They were clearly recruiting indiscriminately.

2. When they called to invite me to an interview, they asked about job openings and said there were positions in marketing, sales, and administration. In reality, there were only administrative and sales positions. They were simply misleading people.

3. The briefing lasted more than an hour. At the end, a group of people left because they did not want to interview. It was simply a waste of time.

4. The office and work environment are traditional and outdated.

1. They provide a detailed introduction to the company office.

2. They prepare small snacks and water.

1. HR was basically randomly contacting people to invite them for interviews. They might not even have been HR. During the phone call, I asked which position it was for, and they replied, “There are many—marketing, administration, planning, and so on.” However, at the interview, they were only hiring an administrative assistant.

2. Before the interview, you have to attend a recruitment briefing. After I agreed to attend, they called many times every day to confirm whether I would go, and each call was from a different person. It felt like the departments had done no communication at all, and I felt harassed.

3. Before the interview, there is a company introduction, but it was basically like an Amway presentation. Some of the ideas mentioned during the introduction were extremely absurd.

4. During the interview, candidates are divided into groups, with each group interviewed by a different person, which makes the hiring criteria confusing.

5. During the interview, the interviewer requires you to stand up to introduce yourself, which feels extremely arrogant.

6. The benefits are not explained clearly during the interview.
