Read the community guidelinesThe company does not pay much attention to employees being late. The previous senior colleague arrived at the company at 11 a.m. and left work at 7 p.m.
Around the beginning of June, the company proactively invited me to an interview for a position as a digital marketing graphic designer. Because I was unable to attend at the proposed interview time, I suggested another time, after which I did not receive any further messages. It was not until the beginning of July that I received a response and went for the interview.
At the interview, applicants are first asked to fill out an application form. During the interview, they are asked to introduce themselves, and the owner explains the company's operating products and job responsibilities. However, after joining the company, the actual situation was completely different.
As mentioned above, I applied for a position as a digital marketing graphic designer, but during my two weeks of employment, all I did was handle warehouse work such as shipping e-commerce products, restocking the warehouse, and placing orders for supplies. The company claimed to have three graphic designers, but in reality, there was only one senior colleague who was a graphic designer. Another person handled human resources, port affairs for imported goods, and corporate client relations. The last one was me, but I could only do the warehouse work mentioned above. Although the senior colleague training me said that the company had many advertisements waiting for me to execute, if the company had really needed me for that work, I should have started preparing designs and carrying out ad placements on my very first day, rather than being assigned to warehouse duties.
