Convenient location, and a large company won't go under. The interviewer has worked there for 20 years, and it's a good place to get married and have children. It won't violate the Labor Standards Act, because the government inspects large companies—but apparently it blatantly violates a whole bunch of labor laws anyway, haha.
1. They force interviewees to fill out an entire personal information form, including their registered address, zodiac sign, blood type, national ID number, and their family members' names and occupations. When I refused to fill it out, the interviewer even sneered at me: “I only asked you to fill out this form because I liked you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have asked you to fill it out at all.” Because of this emotional blackmail, I had no choice but to hand over my personal information.
2. During the interview, they barely asked about my past work experience and instead treated it more like casual conversation, chatting about my appearance, where I went in the photo, and so on. And then I got hired? It was incredibly absurd—I had absolutely no idea what they saw in me.
3. After hiring me, they even emailed me asking me to get a health examination for use when I reported to work, only to then tell me that they still couldn't hire me. It was extremely outrageous, practically treating the interviewee like a monkey. But I heard this is a common tactic used by television stations; after all, rejecting an interviewee costs them nothing.
The interviewer repeatedly guaranteed that I would be hired, but in the end the process got stuck because the HR paperwork was incomplete. It felt like the interviewer wasn't familiar with the interview procedures or principles, yet they actually dared to say they had worked there for 20 years. I had already told them during the first interview that some documents were missing; they could have rejected me then. Why drag it out to a second interview, along with a whole lot of correspondence in between, and waste both our time?
