At first, I saw the job posting on a recruitment website and thought I would go interview at the Zhongxiao branch.
During the interview, the interviewer gave me a very bad impression.
After looking at my résumé, they said, “At most, you’re only at the intermediate cook (half-chef) level. For all we know, you might overcook things when frying them.”
They went on about how good the company’s benefits were, saying there was annual leave and a year-end bonus. Given my experience, they could offer me only NT$38,000 at most.
They asked how much I had earned before. I answered, “Around NT$43,000–45,000, with five days off per month.”
Interviewer: “I can’t offer you that much. You were able to earn that much because you had fewer days off, which is why the salary was higher.
Our store treats its employees well. NT$38,000 for six days off per month is already a lot.”
Hotels, with eight days off per month, may not even be able to find staff easily. I don’t know where the interviewer got such confidence.
When the interviewer saw that I had dyed hair, they said I couldn’t dye my hair if I came to work there. What era are we living in?
With conditions like these, it’s only natural that they can’t find anyone.
People online say that workers are hard to find nowadays. With conditions like these, finding anyone would be a miracle!
