First, you fill out two large questionnaires. Then the supervisor uses a PowerPoint presentation to introduce the company, the position, and the benefits, and says outright: “Let’s be clear from the start: our annual leave does not comply with the Labor Standards Act.

There is no overtime pay, and you also have to find time to attend classes and take exams on your own. Next, you take tests on Word, Excel, and Chinese typing. They will not notify you whether you are hired.”
