Extremely terrible.

The company sent me a message inviting me to an interview: “Due to the expansion of the business unit team, we are actively recruiting outstanding talent. We were deeply impressed by your experience and sincerely invite you to further discuss the 【Online Planning】 position.”

They also called to invite me and explained that the company had already reviewed my résumé. My desired salary was clearly stated on it, and I also asked about the compensation during the call. They said I could discuss it with the supervisor in person. However, when I went for the interview that day, I spent an hour filling out forms and questionnaires, only to wait for an extremely rude old man who said: “There’s no need to talk. The salary you wrote down is not something the company will offer. You can leave!”

Who exactly are you insulting? What kind of attitude is that? The compensation I wrote was the same as what was stated on my résumé. Didn’t the company review it before inviting me?

I’ve never seen such an awful company! Even if you offered me three times the salary, I still wouldn’t go! This group is even worse than a small company! Absolutely ridiculous!

After I left, I sent a message to the company’s HR department:

“Hello, I’m sorry, but I just came to your company for an interview. I spent nearly an hour filling out information and waiting, yet you only looked at the salary I had written and immediately told me that there was no need to continue and asked me to leave because the company could not offer it. This was extremely disappointing and shocking! The salary I entered was the same as the one on my online 104 résumé, where my expected salary was clearly stated. I also asked about the compensation by phone before coming to the interview. Your company should have reviewed my résumé before notifying me to come for an interview. What exactly was the purpose of inviting someone to interview in this way? It is truly incompetent for such a large group to handle matters so poorly! Please respect every job seeker! No one should be treated so unreasonably! Thank you for teaching me a lesson, and please also destroy all the information and personal data I submitted. Thank you!

In any case, absolutely do not go!!!”

Replacing an entire truckload of people every year

Zhongyang Construction is the company that operates Daliart Arts Plaza.

Its representative projects include the Daya Department Store, Jingming 1st Street, and the MacArthur Building.

They are constantly looking for people on job sites to come in for interviews.

Several hundred people have already come and gone.

They have invited all kinds of arts and cultural groups, companies, and organizations to submit proposals and collaborate.

The key issue is that the boss has no sense, has a bad temper, and has problems managing their emotions.

They also do not trust or respect professional expertise.

There is a minor change every three days and a major change every five days.

They also lack integrity in collaborations; the contracts and agreements they sign are merely for reference.

Many partner organizations have not received their final payments, and some are suing one another over it.

The company culture is also that of a family business. There is Section Chief Chang's young mistress, who, although nominally a section chief,

is actually an unofficial director who only knows how to take credit from subordinates and other departments,

using external ideas and proposals to pad her performance record.

It's not that there aren't good employees or partner organizations.

In any case, they are short-sighted and only want quick results and profits,

buying houses and speculating in land.

They don't care about art, culture, or the creative industries,

which is why they operate this way and keep getting more lowbrow.

That's all.

Other people who have collaborated with them, submitted proposals, or worked there are welcome to come forward and add more.

There must be a lot.

Let's prevent collaborations with bad organizations.

Taichung's notoriously awful cultural and creative arts software plaza—Taichung Qiumao Park, perhaps.

Cherish your life and stay away from Daliart.

HR:

Professionalism needs improvement, and they also do not show enough respect for interviewees. It felt like HR was not very familiar with the job duties and had not carefully read the resumes, but had simply used some criteria to filter candidates randomly on a job bank and then invited a group of people to a collective interview.

Interviewer:

They presented the position as offering a great deal of career development, making job seekers think the experience could be broadly applicable. But after listening to the explanation, I felt it was the same as with HR: they did not really care about the job seekers’ backgrounds or expertise, and merely wanted to trick people into taking temporary event work at the Dali Park...

Interview process:

After filling out a résumé form and an extremely long and tedious paper-based aptitude test, the supervisor announced that some of the openings were recruitment on behalf of vendors and were classified as contracted work. In addition, since most interviewees were students and presumably did not need extra health insurance, there would be no labor or health insurance. If labor and health insurance were required, then the position would not be suitable for this recruitment. This exhibition has not been held for the first time, so whether they are still using this tactic to evade labor and health insurance obligations is unknown. Job seekers should pay close attention to their own rights and interests.

Salary:

If they want to lure a group of people to the exhibition venue, of course the salary is only going to be what they can afford～～Job seekers who list a relatively high previous or expected salary may simply be screened out during the one-on-one interview～～Please refer to the comments from the previous few victims; I can strongly relate!

Overall, this is a local company that confidently intends to unlawfully disguise an employment relationship as contracted work, while wasting a large number of interviewees’ time.

I recommend that professionals not go down this path; nonprofessionals should strengthen their expertise so they will not be tricked into wasting their time. In particular, job seekers aspiring to work in the arts or design should enter with caution. Imagine trying to communicate when your supervisor has no aesthetic sense yet insists on hyping art and pretending to be artsy— it will be difficult, hehe～

Can't think of any at the moment

1. The HR manager made herself sound very impressive, saying that she could do everything and was an all-around person.

2. She said that their work was divided very specifically, and that the duties of my position were simpler than those at my previous company. How could I expect a higher salary than at my previous company?

3. The job bank listing stated that there was a comprehensive performance evaluation system, with regular individual performance reviews serving as the basis for salary adjustments, bonus payments, and future promotions, and that the company valued talent development and training. In reality, however, the supervisor responded: [“You do roughly the same things every day, so why should we give you a raise?”] There was no such thing as a pay raise at all. What was written on the job bank was a lie.

4. When I asked whether the company provided year-end bonuses and gifts for the three major festivals, the response was: “You haven’t even joined yet, so why should I tell you?” Later, she said: “It depends on your performance. If your performance is poor, why should the company give you a year-end bonus?” The gifts for the three major festivals were simply vouchers for Carrefour.

Pros—probably none.

(Does the air conditioning being really cool count?)

The following is my interview experience, for reference only.

Process:

At first, I received an email telling me to turn left after getting off the elevator. However, after getting off the elevator, you should actually turn right. Although turning left also leads to a department of Chung Yang Construction, no one will pay attention to you there, so I recommend choosing the right side directly!!!

After entering, an employee will ask whether you brought a headshot and a pen.

You will first be asked to fill in your basic information,

as well as take a personality test (nearly 100 questions).

Next, there is an attention-to-detail test (with an 8-minute time limit). These are all fairly simple—no big deal.

Finally, I was taken to another small room to wait for the supervisor interview.

At first, they asked me a few questions.

Supervisor: “Do you know what the job involves? Did you look it up online?”

Me: “You briefly explained it over the phone, but at the time you told me that you were Dali Buyer. I searched online, but couldn’t find any relevant information.”

The other party then explained to me: “They are an affiliated company of Dali Buyer.”

My inner thoughts: Oh, so why did you lie and tell me you were Dali Buyer when you’re clearly Chung Yang Construction? ==

Supervisor:

“The main duties are handling incoming and outgoing documents, processing payment requests and pricing. We have a location at Dali Art Plaza, and we need someone in this position to help deliver and receive documents, as well as set up vendor records and handle payment requests and pricing, etc. However, you won’t come into contact with other vendors.”

Next, I was asked to fill in the earliest date I could start work and my desired salary.

For the desired salary, I originally wrote ‘according to company policy,’ but after the supervisor looked at it, they asked me to change it to a specific figure or a range.

So, if you’re going to interview, you can think about this in advance.

(I’m listing the questions more closely related to the job here; the other questions were more personal, so I won’t include them.)

I won’t elaborate much on this part. In short: “Um... hard to say.”

I met a female employee, whom I’ll refer to as the supervisor.

(I’m not sure how senior her position was, but her attitude and tone weren’t very good either—probably about the same as what the other commenters encountered. ==)

The supervisor kept going around in circles and asking me the same questions, which left me completely speechless. ==

The entire interview wasn’t very long, but she just kept asking the same questions.

(I had already told her everything!!!)

Finally, she asked whether I had any questions.

I asked when I would know the result.

The supervisor replied: in about one to two weeks.

Same as above

None

I traveled a long way to attend the interview in heavy wind and rain. After filling out the forms, I waited for more than half an hour before finally entering the interview stage. The person who interviewed me was an older gentleman. No one introduced him, and he did not introduce himself, but he seemed to be the chairman or some other senior executive. From the moment he came in, he looked very unhappy and impatient. He asked me a few questions—no more than three, I think—and then told me I could leave and wait for notification. The entire process was extremely disrespectful. I spent four or five hours on this interview, including half an hour filling out forms and another half hour waiting, only to be asked, “What did you do in your previous job? What does industrial design involve?” That was it?? Please, if your interviews consist of HR finding candidates and the chairman conducting the interviews, then HR should make sure it understands what kind of people the chairman is looking for. Don’t waste each other’s time, and don’t just go through the motions.

The company has a large organizational structure, but the interviewer was quite disrespectful. I suggest that anyone considering attending an interview think twice.
