Workplace reviews and discussion: 國泰世華商業銀行股份有限公司

The air conditioning is very strong, and the supervisor answers questions whenever there are any issues.

The résumé I submitted on the job bank did not say that I wanted to work in banking, yet I received a call from someone claiming to be from the Jianguo Branch of Cathay United Bank asking me to come for an interview. They said they were hiring an internal administrative staff member. I said, “Sure, but I don’t have any relevant certifications,” and they still said OK. After searching online, I found that it seemed to be a case of the direct marketing department using a misleading job title to recruit people. Sure enough, it was a telemarketing job—calling people to ask whether they wanted a loan. = =

The base salary is 22K, plus performance bonuses. You apparently have to bring in around three million (or was it five million?) per month to meet the target, and only anything above that qualifies for a bonus.

I feel they could simply state during the phone call that it was the direct marketing department. There’s no need to recruit people in such an inefficient and misleading way.
