Read the community guidelinesInterviewed for a quality assurance-related position in the first half of 2019.
I really can't think of anything particularly advantageous or appealing...
1. The job description posted on 104 differed from the actual interview. They simply brushed it off by saying, "This is no big deal, right?"
2. The company has quality assurance and customer service departments, but QA is expected to assist customer service in compiling reports and travel to handle abnormal situations. (QA departments at many companies do a lot, but I don't understand why this company's customer service department exists.)
3. Regarding point 2, whether having engineers travel to Europe to handle abnormalities is an advantage is debatable, but I really don't know what to say about presenting this as a benefit.
4. HR's handling and professional attitude were both very poor. They did not dare respond when asked about the company's benefits and policies, and simply brushed the questions off with vague answers.
5. There is no overtime pay. Compensatory leave can only be requested after 9:30 p.m., and it is unclear whether the request will be approved.
6. The QA department has only one section manager and no engineers. The staffing consists solely of a section manager and a team leader (technician), so it is extremely understaffed.
7. It feels like the supervisor has no intention of changing the current situation and only wants to bring someone in to work hard and put in overtime together...
At first, I felt that the Aiken staffing specialist was very responsible. They also reminded me to revise the weaker parts of my résumé. The general manager was okay, but was pregnant. Since Maolin is located in the Tongluo Technology Park, it was quite clean and bright.
On average, each person has to spend an entire afternoon interviewing. And if this is clearly a temporary staffing position, why are you nitpicking over everything? How cheap do you want your workers to be?
Someone in the middle became unhappy and left immediately.
Damn, it is clearly a fixed-term contract position, and I did not see them hiring full-time employees either. What is the point of doing this?
The quality assurance supervisor asked: Have you ever worked the night shift?
I answered that I had worked a two-days-on, two-days-off schedule, so I had worked night shifts before. Then he said they needed employees to work four days on, two days off, or even five days on, two days off.
The quality assurance supervisor asked: Can you write measurement programs for 2.5D measurement?
I answered: Yes, that is very simple. I wrote measurement programs at XXX Company.
They asked whether I smoked, because the factory area was very large and the job required long periods of sitting or standing; just walking to the smoking area took five minutes.
I said that I did not smoke and had no other bad habits.
Then he said that their busy season lasted until November. The quality assurance supervisor also said they needed employees to work four days on, two days off, or even five days on, two days off. My concern is that since this is a temporary staffing position, even if I tough it out until November, they might make major staff cuts, and there would be no year-end bonus, so there is a high chance they would definitely cut you.
Salary offered:
Day shift (160*8+200*2)*20 = 33,600
Night shift (190*8+230*2)*20 = 39,600
They also did not provide bonuses for the three major holidays.
With this kind of arrangement, can I take leave whenever I want?
