In mid-December, I applied through 104 and immediately received a call the next day arranging an interview for 10 a.m. in mid-January of the following year. Then, the evening before the interview, they sent me a message through 104 saying that the interview time had to be changed to 11 a.m. I assumed there must have been some event or that another interviewee had an emergency, so I felt it was fine at the time.

The next day, I arrived early and told the front desk that I had an interview scheduled for 11 a.m. They immediately informed the person responsible for conducting interviews and told me that the interviewee scheduled for that time had not come down yet, asking me to wait inside. I did not enter the interview until around 11:20.

Because my résumé mentioned that I had worked at a certain hospital, about 30 of the 40 minutes of the interview revolved around what I had done at the hospital. In the remaining 10 minutes, they gave me questions about how I would sell products and arrange shifts, and asked about the salary and benefits. They also asked whether I could accept a commute of more than 30 minutes by scooter.

The interview question required me to find a way to start with a customer saying they wanted to buy mosquito repellent and then promote other products, such as sunscreen, gastrointestinal medicine, and so on. When I could not answer, they asked me a second question and then said, “This is very different from your previous job. You simply followed doctors’ instructions and did whatever was prescribed, but this job is different.” At the time, I felt that the interview experience was really poor. Later, after searching online, I found that many of the shift arrangements and other issues that the person responsible for the interview had not explained clearly were problematic.

I sincerely recommend that everyone search online before submitting a résumé and then decide whether to apply.
