The air conditioning indoors makes it nice and cool~ Much more comfortable to go to an interview in summer.

Interview summary:

1. After receiving the interview notification, you first have to fill out an aptitude test in a Google Form they created.

2. Applicants are asked to bring a résumé, but upon arrival they also have to fill out the company’s résumé form. During the interview, they then look at another résumé the applicant brought, printed from a job bank.

3. It takes about 10 minutes to finish filling out the company résumé form. You then notify HR, who asks the applicant to wait. This stage takes half an hour.

4. During the HR interview, they review the résumé. It does not matter if height and weight are left blank, but personal information about past experience—such as employment dates, salary, ID number, and family situation—is required.

5. The HR interview consists of a questionnaire they apparently copied from somewhere online. They write down the answers to each question, with almost no follow-up questions. Most of the time is spent watching them write.

6. HR proactively explains the company’s salary and also asks about the applicant’s salary expectations, but HR will in turn ask whether the applicant knows about the company’s benefits.

7. Remember to ask HR whether the salary listed on the job bank is the base salary, or whether it includes a bunch of miscellaneous bonuses—and whether the figure is before labor and health insurance deductions and the required contributions.

8. Only after HR finishes recording the information they need will they ask the hiring manager to conduct the interview. Basically, it is a standard professional interview: a brief explanation of the job duties, followed by an opportunity for the applicant to ask questions, and that’s it.

9. The hiring manager then asks another manager to conduct an interview, but the interview atmosphere and depth of the questions are relaxed, like those at a small business.

10. Interview duration: nearly 2 hours.
