1. Fill out the information first (I don’t understand why they make people fill out the information when they already have data from 104; they must have ulterior motives for deceiving people into doing so.)

2. Someone who appeared to be a supervisor came to listen to my self-introduction and explain the job responsibilities (the position requires rotating among sales, procurement, and accounting duties. It sounded like there was no system at all, and it felt like a company run by an exploitative old-school boss trying to find an all-purpose employee at a low price. But I guess that’s how things are in Chiayi—I'm really fed up! If you only want to pay peanuts, then just obediently hire monkeys to work for you.^^)

3. HR asked about my expected salary, and also refused to let me first ask what the basis was for the salary range listed on the job bank (they also wouldn’t let me ask about salary and benefits—what exactly was I there for?). After I told HR my previous salary, they asked me to consider the salary gap between northern and southern Taiwan (thinking it over carefully after I got home, I wondered: does the boss’s income vary between north and south? So are people in southern Taiwan just supposed to earn less money???). I still compromised at the time and wrote down a few thousand less, but it was still not the minimum of the salary range for the position. I estimate that if you want to get hired, you have to write the minimum salary for the position—for example, if the salary range is NT$26,000–32,000, you should write NT$26,000 as your expected salary. The range offered by this company is just bait to get people to submit résumés. If you don’t want to pay more, don’t pretend to be generous!)
