There aren't really any particular advantages. If I had to mention something, there was nothing especially difficult, and the receptionists all seemed quite attractive.
After notifying you about the interview, they require you to complete something online at home that is similar to an aptitude test. Even if you fill it out quickly, it takes more than half an hour. On the day of the interview, you also have to spend some time filling out a lot of information—approximately half an hour—before they will interview you.
The salary offered is NT$28,000, plus an educational allowance each month for one year, intended to encourage you to pass the real estate broker examination.
The entire process takes one to one and a half hours, not including the time spent completing the test at home. Moreover, most of the information requested is of little significance, and it is unclear what these questionnaires are intended to assess.
According to what friends of mine inside the company have said, a land administration agency typically has two or three supervisors, around 13 scriveners, and five scrivener assistants. Their agency currently has only two assistants. Despite the serious staff shortage, the company has confirmed the hiring of someone who entered through nepotism, either from a food and beverage program or someone who has not even completed military service. I suspect this is related to the interviewer not being from a relevant field either—quite an admirable spirit of embracing talent from all backgrounds. Aspiring people from all academic fields and industries are encouraged to give it a try.
As for the educational allowance provided after joining, the company does in fact provide guidance for obtaining licenses such as land administration agent or real estate broker. The reality, however, is that some of the people hired say they do not need the money and therefore will not take the exam, while others do not take it because they want to leave work on time to meet their girlfriends.
I strongly recommend that anyone with a relative who has worked their way up inside the company for a long time give it a bold try; basically, that is the only way to get hired. During the interview, you should also avoid appearing too driven. After all, none of the people who get in plan to obtain the licenses—perhaps the hiring criterion is that candidates must not be too ambitious.
Some companies are simply like this: on the surface, their promotion channels are open and their educational support and guidance are comprehensive, but in practice, none of it is accessible. During interviews, the company only needs to treat the position as a disposable job and specifically hire people with very low educational qualifications, completely unrelated fields of study, and no ambition. Although the company has a clear promotion system, a leading company in the real estate industry has only four agencies in the Greater Taipei area, so it is easy to infer just how disposable this position is.
In conclusion, if you do not have an impressive educational background and happen to want to be a lifelong assistant, congratulations—you are highly suited to this company. It would be even better if you had a relative to recommend you.
