You are important to us. But don’t expect high salary.
Nowadays, finding a job is difficult. Even worse, some companies are taking advantage of this situation to exploit fresh graduate and those who are eager to enter the workplace.
This is my friend’s personal experience. She urged me to share this story warn other potential applicants, so here it is.
Last week, my friend attended an interview arranged by an international NGO in Hong Kong. The interviewer was amazed by her skills sets and international working experiences. The CEO even talked to her in person, promising that they were planning to train her to be the successor of the company.
However, there was a sharp turn when my friend asked about the monthly salary. Despite claiming to guarantee work-life balance, they said they could offer no more than 2,297 USD (approx. $18,000 HKD) per month.
It looked so creepy.
Two days later, on Saturday, the hiring manager sent my friend an email with the date and time for a second-round interview. My friend intentionally ignored the email, but the CEO of the company messaged her directly via LinkedIn on Sunday 😂.
“Where is the work-life balance? “, she asked.
At last, my friend rejected the interview invitation.
