Workplace reviews and discussion: 晶睿通訊股份有限公司

Both the interviewing manager and the front desk receptionist were very polite!

The interview focused appropriately on the work-related content and circumstances.

The questions were quite detailed, and the interviewer had clearly reviewed the questionnaire answers that applicants were asked to return before asking questions.

(Some companies require you to return a bunch of information but do not mention any of it during the interview.)

They also prepared questions in advance based on my past background and asked me about them.

I could tell that the manager had prepared questions.

It may also have been an internal SOP requiring certain questions to be asked!

However, the questions were not very formulaic; they felt quite specifically designed for me.

Even if I ultimately did not receive an offer, or if the salary offered was lower than expected, the manager left a good impression during the interview, and the company's overall image was positive.

It was still a good interview experience!

The form the company asked me to return did not include the names of family members, and I only disclosed part of my address.

During the interview, I was asked why I had not filled in that information.

I replied that if I joined the company in the future and the information was needed for its records, I would be willing to provide it then.

However, the interviewing manager looked somewhat unhappy.

Before the interview, I was also asked to sign a personal data consent form.

It stated that I agreed to the company using my personal data for this interview.

However, I have the right to choose whether to provide this personal information.

I believe that looking for a job has nothing to do with whether I provide the names of my family members or my address.

If a certificate of no criminal record or a credit report were required, or if I were asked whether I had relatives working at the company, I feel that this information could be directly requested and provided.

But in Taiwan, the environment seems to assume that people do not consider their personal data important and will simply hand it over.

Employers may even find it strange if you do not fill in the information.

So if I did not receive an offer because of this, I would not feel it was a pity.

Basically, the manager's expression immediately fell when they heard my response.

That was why I found it inexplicable and came up with all these thoughts above.

However, the manager did not mention the matter again afterward.
