A job-seeking post by a self-claimed former assistant to the board secretary of Hollyland(China)Electronics Technology Corp.,Ltd. (002729.SZ) has gone viral on social media. The post, widely shared, drew attention from industry professionals due to its detailed first-person work descriptions, covering project introductions, institutional engagements, and informal communication tactics.
According to the post, the job seeker, a law graduate, was primarily responsible for presenting the company’s business to institutional clients during meetings and dinners, including projects like IDC data centers, Shanghai Super Silicon, and T3出行. She wrote, "I usually start by briefly introducing the company’s projects to facilitate further discussions."
She listed three key strengths: the ability to independently handle meetings and present company projects, strong communication skills in high-frequency social settings, and emotional stability with quick reactions to management demands.
When describing her interactions with institutions, she noted, "Most attendees at these dinners are fund managers, brokers, or executives from Shanghai’s primary and secondary markets." She added, "Initially, the board secretary introduced me, but later, I was frequently invited on my own."
Some candid details in the post were widely quoted, such as: - "At an eight-person dinner, I usually start by making rounds of toasts, followed by drinking with senior leaders, and can even go for a second round." - "I can handle over six taels (approx. 300ml) of Kweichow Moutai Co.,Ltd. (600519.SH) without losing composure. I also drink red wine but haven’t measured the limit." - "If someone praises my drinking, I thank them first and then return the compliment. Everyone likes being flattered."
On communication strategies, she emphasized, "Conversations must be graceful and memorable without overshadowing others." Regarding leadership presence, she wrote, "When praised by superiors, I redirect credit by saying, ‘It’s all thanks to your guidance.’"
The post also mentioned internal tasks: "I helped draft simple project proposals and spent free time memorizing financial concepts to keep up with dinner talk."
Despite a six-month career gap, she maintained external connections: "I kept my networking and drinking skills sharp."
Her job preferences included remaining an executive assistant, pursuing a board secretary certification, and prioritizing work over marriage plans.
The post sparked market discussions, with some humorously commenting that it was "good for baijiu (Chinese liquor)."
