There is an elevator

At Wanhua Station, they directly sent me an email asking me to come for an interview (which felt a bit off). They did not contact me through 104. They are an export trading company dealing in furniture hardware, with one office each in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China. Their partner factories are also located in Taiwan and mainland China.

There is a test. The accountant is in their fifties and wants to find someone to take over the position. They do not want the person they hire to keep leaving and hope they can stay here for a long time.

There is a test, but it only covers basic accounting. They did not ask whether I had any questions. The salary is NT$38,000, and the owner's wife did not say whether that was good or bad. I would have to use their computer to enter journal entries to see whether I could type them quickly, but it would be easy to make mistakes. It felt pretty much the same as what people described on 面試趣—basically, it felt like a really bad sign. They suddenly called and asked me to start work (at first, they said they would notify me in a week), but half an hour later, they called and told me to start tomorrow 🙄. I had already said during the interview that I could not start until the end of September because I would be going abroad in the meantime. They then told me, “Why don’t you come in tomorrow first and take personal leave afterward?” (How short-staffed are they, exactly?) Later, I told them I would think about it and reply by email. But an hour later, the boss immediately called and told me not to drag it out and to decide quickly (it hadn’t even been half a day!). He said that I couldn’t act like this and that I shouldn’t keep dragging it out. What exactly was wrong with what I did? 🙄🙄🙄🙄 After interviewing with so many companies, this was the first time I encountered one that demanded I decide quickly. (The key point is that they hadn’t even told me the salary.) It really felt terrible.
