Workplace reviews and discussion: 實威國際股份有限公司

None

The woman who called to invite me to an interview was very rude (her voice sounded like that of a middle-aged woman).

In a very lazy, lifeless voice, she said, “Hello~ Is this XXX? Are you interested in sales? Would you be able to work in Neihu?”

She did not explain at all what kind of work the company does, nor did she provide any detailed description of the job. She simply wanted to send me an interview invitation directly.

She kept emphasizing, “We are a leader in computer software. I think you are young and highly adaptable.”

In the end, I stated that the company’s location was inconvenient to reach by MRT and that I was not interested in accepting an interview.

She said in a very disdainful tone, “You can drive!”

I said that I did not have a car.

She continued, “Then learn! Don’t compromise when looking for a job just because of the location.”

I am truly grateful for this woman’s advice. Having a driver’s license does not mean I should learn to drive and buy a car just to commute to work at a company whose business is unclear!

This was the first time I had ever received such an awful interview invitation call.

According to her way of thinking, I suppose I should look for jobs in southern Taiwan from Taipei—after all, you can get anywhere by car.
