Multiple interview experiences with “stories”.

When I was notified about the interview, I had already explained that I had no accounting experience or accounting certifications. However, the person on the phone said that the work was simple and easy and that I could come in for an interview to see for myself. Unfortunately, I ended up stepping into an abyss. Throughout the entire interview, I was constantly belittled with comments such as, “I really don’t know how to continue this conversation,” “Your previous jobs didn’t require you to use your brain,” “Is there some problem since you stayed at each job for only about two or three years?” and “Would you go home and buy books to read?” It was the first time I had ever sweated profusely during an interview—not because I was nervous, but because the entire office didn’t have the air conditioning on and was unbearably hot. Whenever I was answering a question, I would be interrupted before I could finish speaking. It was extremely disrespectful. It was very clearly a position based on a responsibility system, but overtime pay was never mentioned, and I didn’t get an answer when I asked about it. The boss only emphasized that they wanted to find someone “with a sense of responsibility.” If you want to add more interview stories to your life, I recommend giving it a try.

The boss usually doesn’t show up until after noon.

The starting salary is very low, and raises are also minimal.

The Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival bonuses are around 1,000.

After completing one year, the year-end bonus is about one month’s salary.

You clock in for work, but leaving work is based on a responsibility system.

During tax filing season, you also have to work overtime on holidays.

There is no overtime pay or compensatory leave.

The company provides bottled water and toilet paper for the restroom,

but you have to bring your own tissues for your desk.

Employees clean the office and take out the trash themselves every week.

The boss likes talking about ghosts, the supernatural, and karmic consequences.

When you ask tax-related questions, you often don’t get an answer,

or the boss just brushes them off with a smile...

Unlike other accounting firms, the company does not require a two-year contract.

Overall employee turnover is very high.

You discover that you’re already one of the more senior employees after working there for only a short time.

The computers are very slow and the equipment is very old.

The network is only connected during tax filing season,

because the boss is afraid the computers will get infected with viruses.

Staying here for long won’t help; it will only make your résumé look worse.

It provides no advantage.
