Internship Work

I joined on July 3rd, and my position is an intern at the after-sales front desk receptionist. In short, it's to greet customers; customers book the day before; today they come to the store; the security guard calls via intercom, we go to greet them, confirm customer information, open a work order, and hand it over to after-sales service consultants.

First about the monthly salary: because it's an intern, the monthly wage is 2400 plus performance; I heard from the same batch of interns that there might be subsidies. If you perform well in the first four months, you get an extra 800 per month, up to four months, totaling 3200 yuan. (But actually I don't know what constitutes good performance...)

After becoming a regular employee, there are five insurances and one housing fund; it's surprising to have one fund, which I didn't expect. National holidays are paid at triple wages; sick leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, marriage leave, etc., are all paid leave, which I think is very humane.

The canteen is free to eat; breakfast + lunch are provided. The canteen is something I really love because the meals are quite good: three dishes (one meat, one mixed meat, one vegetarian) + soup + porridge, plus various breads, milk, cakes, and snacks, all free. It seems there is a weekly perks time with extra tasty dishes, but limited; for example roast duck noodles, bullfrog, etc., while supplies last.

Speaking of my recent work experience, my working hours are 8:30 to 17:30, a total of 9 hours, but I actually work less than 5 hours every day, because senior sisters will guide me to slack off; standing at the reception all the time is exhausting, so we rotate within the position.

Before 12:00, there is a 30-minute break. After 12:00, one-hour break. For example: 12:00–1:00 work, 1:00–2:00 break, 2:00–3:00 work, 3:00–4:00 break, 4:00–4:45 work, 4:45–5:30 break.

That's how it is; breaks can be used for anything—sleeping, checking your phone. I’m really grateful to the senior sisters for helping me slack off. So my job is actually quite comfortable, but I can't stay in this position forever; later there will be rotations. I’m currently considering becoming an after-sales service consultant, and I asked the manager; the manager said yes, starting from an assistant.

Being an after-sales service consultant is actually a fairly desirable job, but it can be tiring. Booking work with customers is not something we do; there will be schedulers to talk with customers. Then schedulers evenly assign orders to service consultants daily; each service consultant typically handles about 7–12 orders per day; as long as performance isn't too poor, the monthly salary typically stays above 7k. Our BMW dealership has plenty of money and rarely lacks maintenance orders; every day there are many people… many seniors upstairs surround me like I’m a rare animal, and we chat about teachers and counselors; I also asked about their salary structure and roughly how much one can make monthly; indeed it's quite high. Roughly 7k base; for seasoned veterans who started in 3 years, typically between 13k–17k.

One step at a time... Make the most of youth to learn more.

New Theme

As you can see, I’ve switched to a new theme! From the previous Kami to this Shiro; a theme gets aesthetically fatigued after long use; a veteran developer wrote a new theme, so I quickly started using it.

I personally prefer this current theme; the first glance was stunning. Kami and Shiro share the same backend data, so I kept the old site as well, as.

Then I found that some versions of Google Chrome would report errors; in the group chat they said it's Clerk's bug. If it keeps reporting errors, you can switch to another browser. I now really like using Edge; it's truly convenient and minimalist.

Compared to the new theme site and the old site, there's a big issue: the current site is noticeably slower because it is deployed on Vercel; the old theme is hosted on domestic servers. So if speed is important, you can also visit the previous site. But I also hope to bring it back up soon, waiting for experts to write Shiro documentation and deploy accordingly...
