Workplace reviews and discussion: 綠動未來股份有限公司

Experienced the most special interview of my life.

I have participated in countless interviews,

but this was the only one that left a deep impression.

After the interview, I went to Tianyancha to look at other people's interview experiences,

only to find out that all the SOPs were actually the same.

Working inside a private residence,

with two part-time employees in front of computers experiencing all of this～

(Main text begins)

1. “Fake address”

I arrived for the interview at around 5:30 sharp.

The address provided was fake.

It was clearly inside Lane 3 of XX Road,

yet they insisted on giving a fake address

and asked me to call so someone could come out to meet me.

2. “Late arrival”

After entering the dimly lit “private residence,”

the work environment was worse than my room.

A part-time employee led me inside,

saying that the boss had not arrived yet

and asking me to take a test first？？？

3. “The test”

The young part-time employee looked at me in a panic

and messaged the boss through the computer beside her.

“The boss asks you to take the Chinese typing test first.”

I asked how many minutes the test would take.

“The boss says 10 minutes.”

At that moment, I really wanted to leave,

but because it was so interesting,

I wanted to see the boss in person,

so I stayed and started typing.

Halfway through, the boss drove back,

put down a pile of things he had bought from COSTCO,

and asked the part-time employee to carry them inside.

I patiently finished the last two minutes of the Chinese typing test.

After I finished,

the boss greeted me

and briefly introduced himself,

then said, “Wait～let me say something on the phone.

Continue with the English typing test......”

4. “Test 2.0”

After finishing the Chinese and English typing tests,

I thought that would be it.

“Have you done the English test?”

At that moment, I thought,

is this itself another test?

I had almost forgotten what position I was applying for.

Was it a “typist” or something?

Finally, there were 10 English test questions

and 10 audio test questions.

The battered old keyboard

was wrapped in a thick layer of plastic wrap.

As my fingers struck the keys,

the unpleasant feedback completely exhausted my patience.

In the end, without really reading the questions,

I got a score of 61.

(Because I just wanted to hurry up and interview this legendary person～the score was no longer important.)

5. “So, do you think you’ll be a vice president 30 years from now?”

After everything was finished, he asked me to sit on the sofa for a while.

Already somewhat impatient, I was scrolling on my phone,

and half an hour had passed.

The boss was still talking on the phone,

busy with his own affairs.

Finally, he turned around,

looked at my résumé after I handed it over,

and asked, “How long did you stay at your previous job?”

“One year.”

“And the job before that?”

“Ten months.”

(After a minute of silence......)

“I’ll give you some advice.”

“You should stay at your jobs longer.

You know the vice president of XX Company?

He worked at one company for 30 years.

When he encounters problems, he doesn’t blame this or that;

he helps the company and the boss solve the problems.”

(After another minute of silence......)

“Do you know why Japanese companies have a lifetime employment culture?”

“Because every employee thinks about the company,

improves their own abilities,

and makes money for the company......”

“So, do you think you’ll be a vice president 30 years from now?”

Me: ..........

6. “The Foxconn engineer with a million-dollar annual salary”

After the topic above came to an end,

the boss began saying that he had been a Foxconn engineer.

Later, he had gone out on his own.

At the time, his annual salary was one million.

His friend, a TSMC engineer, earned five million a year.

I didn’t really understand why he was telling me all this,

but I really wanted to ask him:

Why didn’t you stay at Foxconn for 30 years,

and then start your own business,

only to mistreat employees here in a place worse than my room?

7. “What can you do? Oh～not bad.”

After going through the series of circular, bizarre exchanges above,

we finally returned to my own abilities.

“You can edit videos～?”

“Yes!”

(Only then did I finally remember～the position I applied for involved video editing and photography.)

“Can you use PS and AI?”

“A little～but I’m not proficient.”

“Then what software do you use?”

(Small talk.)

“What version do you use?”

(Small talk.)

He even said in the end that the Chinese and English typing tests earlier had also been tests,

just not tests of how fast I could type.

They were tests of what kind of person I was.

Back to the point,

let’s talk about this boss.

Perhaps he had suffered some kind of trauma after leaving Foxconn.

Basically, every word he said was testing something.

What he truly wanted to ask was not actually what he asked.

The last thing this boss said to me

came in a phone call made at almost 10 p.m.

The content was roughly......

“Because you have some abilities,

and you can do AI + PS + FCPX + marketing and ad placement + still photography + motion photography,”

would an hourly wage of 175 be okay？？

Thank you～Taiwanese Elon Musk.

Hope you make it to the moon～
