Read the community guidelines1. The interview is conducted in two stages: the first is with the manager, and the second is (supposedly) with the owner himself.
2. It is recommended that you have “professional” knowledge of classical music (such as Western music history and music theory) before attending the interview; otherwise, you are only making trouble for yourself.
3. The manager asks interviewees to name three different musical periods and musicians, and then discuss them.
4. They will respond to / inform you of the interview result.
5. The receptionist is extremely friendly.
1. During the manager’s interview, they briefly browse the résumé and casually ask questions about it.
2. They ask for private information (such as date of birth, zodiac sign, where you live, family members, and your educational history “since childhood”).
3. The owner only starts looking at the résumé when the interview begins, which is highly disrespectful to the interviewee. (Although they say that having too many interviewees causes confusion, it is obvious from the way they review the résumé that they have not read it before.)
4. The owner asks many questions about classical music and has extremely high requirements and expectations regarding the interviewee’s knowledge of the field. (Although they repeatedly say during the process, “This isn’t a college exam. Don’t be nervous; I just want to know how familiar you are with these things,” the questions themselves are no different from an exam.)
5. The owner asks whether you are interviewing with other organizations in the same field and attempts to inquire about relevant details.
6. The owner likes to ask questions nonstop but does not let the interviewee finish speaking, or raises another question while the interviewee is answering.
7. They do not disclose the salary range and instead hand the interviewee a pen and ask them to write down a number.
8. They provide no introduction to the company itself, its current plans, or its future development, and do not discuss the specific duties of the position.
9. There is no time for questions. After asking everything they want to ask, they automatically end the interview and courteously see the person out. (The courteousness is a positive.)
