Workplace reviews and discussion: 國高紙品股份有限公司

Because it was a video interview, some things were difficult to discuss, but the interview went fairly well at first; it gradually went off track later on.

The interview seemed to be scheduled very suddenly, as if the supervisor had unexpectedly become available and arranged it on short notice. There were no particular problems at the beginning, but later they started asking a whole series of questions that felt like a background investigation. Two people kept questioning me intensely one after another, making me feel as though neither of them had reviewed my résumé before inviting me to the interview. Eventually, when I asked about the job duties myself, they said that all of this was already written on the employment website. My thought at the time was: my résumé also includes my work experience and personal statement, yet you still kept asking me the same questions over and over.

It felt as though both the HR representative and the supervisor were fairly unprofessional. Judging from the job duties, this was clearly a machine operation position, yet they insisted on telling me that even machine operation requires a foundation in graphic design. I could not understand what they were getting at.

Later, they also asked what I would do if I joined the company and found that there was no one available to hand over the work to me. I asked in return why there would be no one available for a handover, but they could not explain. It is difficult to accept a company whose supervisor and HR conduct interviews with people in this way. It felt very unprofessional and somewhat as though they were inviting people to interviews indiscriminately.
