1. Environment: A company with 40 years of history, but the environment is like an ordinary residence. During the interview, I saw only four people (including the owner). There is no professional HR department, so there was also no company introduction, systems, benefits, or other professional information.
2. Written test: The interview required filling out résumé information (even though I had already sent both the standard 104 résumé and my personal English résumé before the interview). Therefore, upon arriving at the interview location, I still had to copy the entire genealogy (typo) all over again. There was also a very simple English-to-Chinese translation. While spending 20–25 minutes completing this, I opened my résumé on my phone and looked at it while writing to save time. The owner immediately walked over and told me that I could not look at my phone to search for translations, but I immediately explained that I was checking my résumé, not looking up translations. During the process, I noticed other personnel secretly looking at their phones...
3. Interview: As soon as I sat down, after looking at my résumé and translation, the owner immediately asked when I could start work. From the interviewer’s questions and conversation, it was apparent that the interviewer had not reviewed the applicant’s résumé in advance and knew nothing about the applicant’s background, work experience, expected salary, or other information listed in the electronic résumé. In addition, while filling in my expected salary at the bottom of the company’s résumé form, I noticed two small lines of text stating that if an employee leaves before completing a full month of work, salary will be paid according to the Labor Standards Act. The owner said that he was not familiar with the Labor Standards Act’s regulations....
4. Salary: NT$35K (the owner said this is the standard for people just joining the company), not the regular salary of NT$40,000 or more indicated on the numerical job website. Although there is a sales commission, the regular monthly amount was not specified. In addition, there is performance pressure and performance requirements after three months.
5. Overall impression: This was not a meaningful interview. It wasted both parties’ time, and wasted even more of the applicant’s resources and time.
