When I went to Harbin Wanda Sofitel Hotel to apply for a waiter job, I didn’t see anyone. I first paid a 400RMB mobile phone recharge card and then asked me for my health certificate number.

Classmate, I tell you very responsibly that you have been deceived. Please call the police immediately.

Let’s not talk about international brand hotels such as Sofitel Hotel Group. Even ordinary local regular hotels will never charge any dime from applicants during recruitment! ! ! As an industry insider, I will never lie to you!

The general application procedure is as follows: 1) The hotel will call you using the hotel’s landline to ask you to go for an interview (bring your ID card, original and copy of graduation certificate and other qualification certificates, etc.) . I definitely don’t know how to use a mobile phone, and I called you from a non-local mobile phone number!

2) You will definitely go to the hotel, go to the human resources department, find the person who called and report, and then arrange an interview.

3) After the preliminary examination and re-examination, if they agree to admit you, you will be given a receipt listing the things you need to bring with you on the day you come to work, including the original health certificate! Hotels have very strict requirements for health certificates. Even if you work in the back office and have no contact with guests, you must have a certificate before you can work. You will have to go to a designated hospital for reexamination once a year. If you don't pass the test, you will have to cure your illness and then go for a physical examination until you pass. Only then can I get back to work!

Going back to the Harbin Wanda Sofitel Hotel you mentioned, the China headquarters is in Shanghai, not in Dongguan at all. The official website of the hotel is here. You can also take a look at: /zh/home/index. shtml

In short, regular companies will not charge deposits or phone cards for recruitment. I hope you will be more careful and don't let criminals take advantage of you. I wish you smooth sailing in your future job search!
