The interview was held at the Taichung employment counseling office, with two interviewers, one man and one woman. Although the woman appeared easygoing, she did not seem very serious about recruiting. After a brief self-introduction, they asked some personal questions, and halfway through my answers they would interrupt and shoot me down. In the end, they said something like, “Shouldn’t you understand the format of each shopping mall?” It seemed like they thought we didn’t really understand the job duties. I thought, “Aren’t you the ones getting off topic?” You hadn’t even talked about the job; everything was about personal matters. They also said, “We’ve both worked in the department-store industry for over ten years.” So what?! Maybe Taichung Showtime’s performance has continued to be poor because of people like you. People who go to Showtime are mostly there to watch movies… what else would they be there for?! Besides, the position was a marketing specialist, but the base salary was only NT$26,000, with no overtime pay. All in all, after the interview I really wanted to hit them!

Most of my colleagues are pretty nice, except for those in the head office's sales department.

This is the first time I've encountered a company that hired someone before properly planning its internal staffing needs, then, after the planning was complete, laid the new hire off on the grounds that there was no suitable position for a newcomer. They had already decided to fire you, yet still fed you a load of bullshit about how difficult the decision was, when in fact the organizational chart—with no place for you—had been planned long ago. They were simply waiting to take advantage of you while things were busy, then tell you to get lost once things calmed down. ˊ_>ˋ

This is also the first time I've encountered a company that didn't provide a birthday bonus—somehow even worse than only paying one day's wages of 183. What an eye-opener~

The interviewer said that there is currently no overtime.

The night-shift allowance is only $100.

Salary increases happen slowly; you may have to wait a year.

This position is suitable for people who have time to slowly build up experience or who do not care as much about salary.

I interviewed for a full-time position at Showtimes Cinemas in northern Taiwan.

The job listing stated a monthly salary of $30,000–33,000.

Even though you have relevant experience, the interviewer is only willing to offer $30,000.

When I asked about the company’s salary-increase or promotion system, they responded that increasing salaries too quickly would be frightening.

The company’s senior management should really applaud this supervisor for saving the company money.

Near the end of the interview, the supervisor asked in an unpleasant tone, “Do you have any questions? Do you have any questions?”

(That’s right—they repeated it twice.)

Finally, they handed me a small note listing what to prepare if I got the job.

(The implication was to read it myself and not ask any more questions—they wanted to end the interview.)

Your cinema only wants to hire monkeys at low wages and operate with an arrogant, narrow-minded attitude from its interview supervisors.

Best of luck with your recruiting.

One of the part-time workers was quite friendly.

At first, I went over to pick up an application form and was told to sit there and fill it out. After I finished, I waited for fifteen minutes, but no one came. Later, I exchanged glances with another employee and realized that I was supposed to take it over to them. After I handed it over, I waited for a while again. I don't know if the person was a manager, but they were laughing and joking around and told me to wait a moment. The questions also felt very inexperienced. I left without wanting to work there. When I answered the question about working hours, they only said that I would have at least two days off. I recommend that people who want to make money avoid coming here.

I scheduled the interview for an afternoon time slot.

The company is located inside a building with an elevator.

The HR manager who conducted the interview was friendly.

The interview was very pleasant, like having a conversation.

They also clearly explained the plans for the position and the current challenges they are facing.

Some companies tend to be quite vague about these things.

Besides the cinema business, the company is currently also developing shopping malls and food and beverage brands.

I am currently waiting to receive the offer notification.

If I receive it, I will provide an update.

I can't think of anything for now.

Probably none.

The company atmosphere is very quiet and feels quite conservative.

The building the company is located in, as well as the interior, is old and feels a bit... low.

I interviewed for an e-commerce purchasing position. From what I heard, the company wants to learn from other department stores and develop online shopping, but it has no ideas or logical plan at all—including how to negotiate or what bargaining chips to use. Do they even have online shopping contracts? At present, none of this exists; everything would have to be developed and negotiated by this employee alone. I asked whether the physical stores would also provide support with recruitment or marketing negotiations. The answer was that one supervisor at each branch would help and mobilize the floor managers to carry it out. But the floor managers are already extremely busy, and the performance does not belong to them—why would they take on extra work...?

Overall, it was impossible to tell what direction e-commerce would take in the future. It feels like the role would have to handle everything under the sun. There are no established methods for coordinating with or requesting assistance from various marketing media channels. How is one junior employee supposed to mobilize the entire company’s executives to do online shopping?!

Everything above was just something I dreamed. Please think carefully.

The decor is grand, and the facilities are all excellent.

Taichung Wenxin Showtimes

The female server in the D-Box theater is unbelievably arrogant—a girl who often wears loafers.

The interview with Manager You felt quite good, and Mr. Wang at onboarding was also nice.

But once I actually started working, the senior staff and “older sister” system was extremely strict—practically military-style management. If you made even a small mistake, they would show contempt, disdain, and look down on you.

They treated you like a dog: if they told you to come over, you had to come over. The two male supervisors surnamed Hsieh, who wore white shirts, were even more difficult to commend; they looked down on you all day long.

They called for you as if you were a dog. Do not work there as a part-timer under any circumstances. The difference in how men and women are treated is enormous. They scolded you relentlessly, saying things like: “I stood with you for half an hour. You asked the part-time worker about the mistakes you made—why didn’t you ask me, the supervisor? In the end, am I your supervisor or is she?”

I advise male applicants who go there to be prepared as if they were going into the military. Their treatment of part-time workers is practically military-style.

None

1) Conflict among full-time supervisors involves part-time employees

2) The full-time employee and the manager are married, so the manager does not distinguish between public and private matters and favors the full-time employee

3) The manager on duty ignored the part-time employee being bullied by the full-time employee; reporting it was useless. It was treated as though nothing had happened!

An office so quiet it feels lifeless, with arrogant and conceited interviewers. In the middle of your self-introduction, they may even interrupt you to say that another interviewer is coming in. When the other interviewer arrives, they do nothing but continuously scroll through their phone and scowl. Their attitude is truly appalling. I strongly advise against going there and subjecting yourself to this misery.

The interviewer kept repeating himself.

I interviewed for a marketing position, but the interviewer couldn't explain the job description or duties. They only listened to the interviewee describe their previous work experience, then added, “Everything you just mentioned is part of the job.” (Confused Black person meme???)

The company prides itself on being an innovative marketplace, but it couldn't clearly express its foundation or what its key focus is.

An interview is about evaluating the candidate, but it also gives the candidate a chance to evaluate the company. Since the company couldn't clearly express its own needs or distinctive qualities, I think the department manager should seriously reflect on this.

P.S. They kept asking how much I wanted to join.

Inner thought: Not that much ^^

Pros

I couldn’t see any advantages. The office is quiet?

Cons

During the HR interview, they had not reviewed the résumé beforehand and asked random, thoughtless questions. They also did not seem to understand their company’s existing resources or operating methods. An employee beside the interviewer kept interrupting. It was extremely confusing. They kept insisting that their own approach was correct and did not need to be changed. Then why were they hiring? They showed extreme disrespect for the interviewee’s professional field, adopting a contemptuous attitude and discriminating based on age. They also made many unprofessional, personalized criticisms, and their attitude was unbelievably poor. The company has no management system, and the supervisor is even more self-righteous and unwilling to accept criticism. Do not waste your time going there. I have never encountered such an absurd company. They only want to hire people at low salaries and have no genuine intention.

Seriously, don’t go. From the bottom of my heart, this is an arrogant company that is not sincerely looking to hire. Personal experience: the Wenxin branch. Don’t go there and subject yourself to this frustration.

No advantages whatsoever

During the HR interview, they had not reviewed the résumé beforehand and raised many questions and challenges. They showed extreme disrespect toward the interviewee’s professional field, adding many unprofessional and personalized criticisms in a contemptuous manner. Their attitude was appalling.

They also required the applicant to submit two project proposals at home for review, effectively asking them to work for free during the interview process in order to earn a second-round interview. They brazenly stated that this is how the company operates, giving reasonable cause to suspect that they were attempting to exploit others’ creativity and labor. Their motives are questionable.

Interviewed for an HR position at Showtime Cinemas.

(A vacancy that has been open for a year and still hasn’t been filled.)

As soon as the recruitment manager came in, without introducing the company or the position, they asked the interviewee to introduce themselves and then began attacking their body shape.

They even asked the interviewee how old they thought they looked and whether they had ever had children.

Guess whether the manager themselves is 30 years old?

(You look 45 yourself, yet you dare ask whether someone is 30.)

The manager is thin, while the interviewee is fat—what would other people think?

Fat people look unprofessional and lacking in energy!

Have you ever thought about losing weight? Have you made an effort to lose weight?

The half-hour interview focused entirely on appearance;

not a single question was asked about anything on the résumé!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

I never expected that in my lifetime I would encounter such an unprofessional HR person.

It is people like this in HR who bring down the standing of the HR profession!

If Showtime Cinemas ever runs its business poorly one day, the owner should consider whether it is because they have a recruitment manager like this!

The office atmosphere is very quiet. It feels like a company with fairly strict management, and the employees come across as rather meek and not very lively.

The HR staff had a very good attitude and were very friendly.

The marketing manager who conducted the interview was arrogant and boastful. They did not introduce themselves at all from start to finish, nor did they explain the responsibilities or requirements of the position.

They showed no interest whatsoever in the interviewee’s career experience or personality, and they also repeatedly questioned the salary from the previous job.

During the interview, after asking a question, they kept interrupting or contradicting me before I had finished answering. It felt as though they were not genuinely looking to hire someone, but instead wanted to use the interview process to hear ideas they had not thought of themselves. They were also extremely impatient throughout.

The interview process was very disrespectful. The interviewer kept interrupting from the moment I started introducing myself. I was only informed halfway through my introduction that another interviewer had not joined yet. During the interview, the interviewer kept scrolling on their phone and seemed not to value the conversation with the interviewee. They casually left midway through and were replaced by another interviewer, who then repeatedly pointed out the interviewee’s shortcomings with an displeased expression and appeared impatient. The job responsibilities were never discussed in detail from beginning to end. The entire process was unpleasant and disappointing.
