Workplace reviews and discussion: SF EXPRESS_台灣順豐速運股份有限公司

Only had the interview; I didn’t have any particularly strong positive or negative impressions.

I previously went for an interview for a marketing-related position and was first asked to take an aptitude test. It was the usual type where you rate, from one to five, how frequently a given situation occurs. It could be completed quickly, but several questions were quite odd—for example, one asked, “Do you hear a voice in your head?” I thought, “Is this about schizophrenia?”

Afterward, HR led me to a meeting room, where I met a woman with a somewhat Southeast Asian accent. She was fairly friendly, but she immediately said she wanted to see projects I had worked on before. I found this a little strange, since this part is usually handled by the hiring marketing manager.

I still presented the projects I had worked on, but I felt that she did not really understand marketing. She did not ask any questions about my proposal or engage in any further discussion. After that, she just asked why I had left my previous job, my expected salary, and so on.

However, HR was the one deciding at the first stage whether candidates would proceed to a second interview with the hiring manager. This interview process made me choose to give up halfway through, because I realized that even when I asked HR questions about the company’s marketing work, her answers were very superficial.

Having someone outside the relevant professional field choose candidates for that field made me feel that my hour and a half had been wasted. Their company is also difficult to find. Overall, I can only say that the experience left me feeling quite negative.
