Can't think of any
Interview position: WT Elite—Operations Specialist/Administrator/Assistant
104 job description: You will be assigned to a suitable department based on your areas of expertise and the interview results:
1. CSR (Business Support Management Department)
2. VSR (Procurement/Materials Department)
3. Document Management (Samples/Approval Documents)
This interview was absolutely terrible and left an extremely bad impression. I feel like I was brought in today just to be humiliated. The interview was completely unprofessional and disrespectful, with a rather careless and perfunctory atmosphere. From beginning to end, only one supervisor was actually listening to me.
There were five people inside—apparently one HR representative and four supervisors. (When they came in, they did not introduce themselves at all, so I had no idea who was who.)
------------
The following all actually happened, with absolutely nothing fabricated:
1. Careless and disrespectful attitude:
They did not listen attentively while I was speaking, and they also did not pay attention to my answers to their questions.
Supervisor A asked a question. After I answered, Supervisor B asked something almost exactly the same as the previous question, or something I had already answered in my response to the previous question.
Furthermore, while I was answering questions, they actually wrote on my résumé, chatted, and whispered and laughed.
2. A group of supervisors entertaining themselves during the interview:
Sometimes, while I was speaking, they would think of something and start joking and chatting among themselves.
3. Constantly making me uncomfortable:
They nitpicked my résumé and asked me all kinds of difficult questions in a skeptical tone.
I feel that if you did not like my résumé, fine—but I do not understand why your company clearly had no intention of seriously interviewing me, yet kept criticizing me and still invited me to the interview???
4. Repeatedly pushing me away:
HR: Asked whether I had any other job interviews.
Me: There is one with a Chinese company.
The supervisors: Oh!! That is a great opportunity! Your prospects will definitely be very good once you join them! Chinese-invested companies are all very wealthy, and the Taipei office should be in Taipei 101, right? (My inner thought: What the hell does that have to do with you?!)
HR: Describe yourself using three adjectives.
Me: Gentle, patient, responsible.
Supervisor C: Have you ever considered becoming a preschool teacher?
Then everyone burst out laughing.
5. Disrespecting the interviewee’s faith:
After HR saw that I had previously worked at a church, they said: “Did you work there because churches are warm places where everyone is nice? It is such a gentle environment there—why didn’t you just stay there?”
The person who said that was HR, seriously???
Faith is faith, and work is work. Is there something wrong with bringing the two together like that???
------------
I feel that their behavior completely damaged their company’s reputation.
Even someone as mild-tempered as me felt that my dignity had been thrown on the ground and trampled on. I left their company today in anger.
If you were not interested in my résumé, then do not ask me to come in!!
Why waste both our time?
I spent over an hour traveling there and back, more than an hour interviewing, and over 300 in transportation costs, just to listen to you say this meaningless stuff?
I wish I had never gone.
It is supposedly one of Taiwan’s largest semiconductor distributors, yet having a team of supervisors like this is ridiculous.
Even if this was a high-pressure test, I absolutely cannot accept crossing the line by attacking someone’s faith.
If you are going to insult people like this, at least offer a higher salary, okay?
31–32K * 14 months—what exactly is there to brag about?
Average time leaving work: 7–8 p.m.; possibly later during the busy season.
Think carefully before attending the interview.
I am sharing my painful experience for everyone’s reference.
I am furious even as I type this—angry enough to be shaking.
