Interview stage:
1. During the interview, the manager places considerable emphasis on your past experience, making sure that you understand it and can actually do it… If you can answer all of these questions fluently and handle yourself with ease, that will earn you a lot of extra points.
2. The manager will also throw out other questions to see how you react and handle them. I think it’s best to answer honestly. If there are areas you’re less familiar with, briefly explain that and express your willingness to learn. This lets the manager know that although you’re not strong in that area, you’re willing to learn, which will also leave a good impression…
After joining the company:
1. The company is located on Dunhua North Road, lined with lush trees—one of my favorite Taipei streetscapes. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there from Taipei Arena at a leisurely pace. There are many commercial buildings, the Mandarin Oriental hotel, convenience stores, and tons of banks nearby, so it’s very convenient and easy to pick up supplies along the way… The Dunbei streetscape is beautiful both day and night! Just walking there makes you feel more refined~ ^^
2. The office is very bright, and you can see the Dunbei streetscape right outside the windows. The desks and chairs are fairly new, and even regular employees have high-back chairs, so it’s very comfortable to lean back and rest during lunch!
3. The company’s lunch break is from 12:30 to 13:30, which conveniently avoids the crowds of office workers who take lunch at 12:00.
4. There are several bento shops behind the building, as well as breakfast shops, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, a 7-Eleven, and My Warm Day. Most of the bento meals cost under 100, and they’re pretty tasty. For this location, I think the prices are quite reasonable~ There’s also a McDonald’s across the street…
Office atmosphere:
1. If you’re someone who can hit the ground running, this is a great place to put your skills to use. If not, you’ll need to spend some time getting adjusted. Once the manager confirms that you and they are aligned on your approach and ideas, they generally won’t interfere much—as long as the results meet expectations and are delivered on time, it’s okay. This is a great place for people who like to exercise their imagination.
2. When discussing projects, if you have better ideas or relevant past experience, you can share them with the manager so you’re both on the same page. Doing so also reduces the likelihood of failure.
3. The colleagues and managers are fairly easy to get along with—maybe because I’m a rookie… haha!!
4. There aren’t many opportunities for overtime at the company, and most people can leave work on time.
Every industry has its ups and downs, but overall, this is a friendly company~
One of the advantages is also a drawback: if you happen to wake up late, walking from Taipei Arena to here in the summer will leave you drenched in sweat... @@
