Situation: I was notified of the interview at the last minute on the same day, so I hurriedly prepared my documents.
When I arrived, because I had seen the reviews here, I wrote my résumé very conservatively.
I thought I could get to know the company better during the self-introduction before judging whether it was good or bad.
The receptionist, an HR representative, was very kind and professional. However, after I finished filling out the forms, HR asked me to begin my self-introduction.
In my past experience, interviews were always started directly by a supervisor,
and the person who called to arrange the meeting at short notice was also a male supervisor.
As a result, I thought I was being treated differently because of the information on my résumé, and I started to feel that this company was not worth interviewing with.
I felt it would be a waste of both our time, so I approached the interview with the mindset of giving up on this company.
Later, after asking others about their experiences, I learned that having HR conduct the self-introduction is a normal process at some companies...
I just want to say SORRY—being HR is really difficult.
Conclusion: HR was very professional. Thank you to her.
Since I did not meet the boss, I cannot comment, but HR's attitude was highly professional.
