Can't think of any
The HR department scheduled the interview two weeks in advance. On the day of the interview, it rained heavily, and I made the arduous trip from Taipei to Taoyuan.
The interview was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. I arrived at around 1:20 and first filled out the personnel information form. About five minutes later, the interviewing manager came in and said that they had only found out that morning that there was a meeting at 1:30. After saying only a few words, they said they would discuss with the other managers whether I was suitable and then invite me back for a second interview. How can you determine whether someone is suitable based on a conversation lasting less than five minutes? If they knew that morning about the meeting, why couldn't they make a phone call to reschedule with the interviewee? Would anyone want to interview with a company that doesn't know how to respect other people's time in the future?
The round-trip transportation took about three hours, but the conversation and filling out the forms took less than fifteen minutes in total.
Is wasting other people's time really that amusing?
