Workplace reviews and discussion: 世帝喜旅行社股份有限公司

After being referred by an agency, I got an interview opportunity. The company stated that applicants who were not serious should not apply. The interview panel consisted of a Taiwanese manager, a Japanese general manager, and a Japanese president. The atmosphere was rather serious. They asked simple travel-related questions (Which are the top hotels in Taipei? Where would you take Japanese people in Taipei? Don’t use clichés.), followed by questions about my numerical and logical reasoning, computer skills, and whether I had basic English ability (because the work interface is in English; no conversational or essay-writing ability is needed at all—they just check whether you can understand vocabulary). I could tell that they placed emphasis on personality traits—whether you are friendly, smile, and remain optimistic—and were willing to train applicants without experience. The Taiwanese manager then introduced the company’s situation and benefits. The interview lasted approximately fifteen minutes or less.

You need to have a strong heart.

Large companies tend to have more specialized divisions. Personally, I find this troublesome because you have to contact many departments, and it can be somewhat inconvenient when everyone is not progressing at the same pace.
