Workplace reviews and discussion: 可貿企業股份有限公司

Claimed to be the world's second-largest office furniture company.

The interview process that day was as follows:

1. Fill out a questionnaire and aptitude questionnaire (five minutes)

2. HR interview (ten minutes)

3. Interview with the accounting department manager

(Five minutes...........I think.

Please forgive me for not remembering, because I was in a state of <shock> at the time.

I was interrupted before I could finish and told, <That's enough.> It ended with, "I'm discussing with the boss whether to invite you back for a second interview."

The main story begins:

Before the interview, I sent back my résumé and arrived on time for the appointment. Who knew it would turn into a nightmare.

Before the interview, the receptionist gave me a survey that was something like an interview-process feedback questionnaire (WTF........I thought, this doesn't bode well. Am I about to step on a landmine?)

I only remember the last question on the questionnaire:

Are you clear about the company culture, salary, and benefits of the company you came to interview with today??? (At that moment, black question marks were flying everywhere in my mind.)

I had just walked in; I hadn't even warmed the chair yet, and you were asking me whether I understood your company's culture and benefits???

(What company puts all of its detailed benefits online for people to look up?)

Later, HR likewise asked me to introduce myself. I mentioned that I was grateful for the support and guidance of my previous supervisors and that I had met quite a few benefactors along the way. Then, without warning, HR spoke up: <Since you have met so many benefactors, why do you still want to resign?> My inner monologue was.........Uh...who would bad-mouth their former supervisor and former company, speaking at length during an interview? Everyone expresses gratitude and praise for their former employer. Although what I said was true—I really had met benefactors—it was just that "the salary was inadequate, there was no prospect for career advancement, and the company was downsizing and laying off employees." Do you think I enjoy constantly looking for jobs and going to interviews just to be mocked? Even if you're an incompetent HR representative, don't display your lack of professionalism. I was truly speechless.

Finally, the even more absurd part came: she still asked me, <Are you clear about our company culture and benefits?>

I really almost rolled my eyes into the top of my head.

After an internal struggle, I still told her, "Yes, could you please explain it to me again?"

That still wasn't the most shocking part. That's right. It finally came.

The accounting manager came in for the second interview and likewise asked me to briefly introduce myself. I hadn't spoken for even five minutes before she interrupted me with <That's enough.> and ended it, saying, "I'm discussing with the boss whether to invite you back for a second interview." I was truly stunned. How could someone be <so disrespectful> to another person? I was so shocked that my eyes widened, my mouth fell open, and I blurted out one word............<Huh>.

She must have realized that she had messed up and began trying to soothe my emotions and distract me from the humiliation I had just experienced.

Yes, I was humiliated.

Throughout the process, I felt that their requirements for the talent they were looking for were unclear, or that they had already found the person they wanted. But could you please not waste job seekers' resources? Gas money and time are both costs.

I had already mentally prepared myself to be mocked when changing jobs; I just never imagined that being humiliated could be so exhausting. The two interview experiences I had in Changhua Binhai Industrial Park were both extremely uncomfortable. Local friends in Changhua all say that people tend to develop their careers in Taichung or elsewhere and would never consider looking for work in Changhua Binhai. The facts prove that you really shouldn't try it lightly.
