It felt like the interviewer hadn’t seriously reviewed my résumé, especially my work experience. They just kept saying things that were hard to understand and didn’t seem to have any clear point. They also asked the interviewee to think it over carefully before replying to HR, after which they would evaluate whether to proceed.
It felt like we were just wasting each other’s time...

Because I often observe the job market, I’ve found that the positions I apply for have a very high turnover rate, but the company doesn’t seem to think it also bears any responsibility.
The year-end bonus is approximately 0.8–1 month’s salary, with domestic travel; the benefits are really……
Convenient location, highly reputable company
The company is very small, and HR only offered a salary of 38,000, yet the requirements are very high. The bonuses aren't generous either—what a stingy cosmetics company!

Every job seeker hopes to be treated kindly during an interview. Ryan, founder and CEO of Human Workplace, pointed out in Forbes that job seekers will inevitably encounter recruiting companies that act superior, evaluating candidates with an attitude of, “I can decide whether to hire you. You’re nothing.” If you encounter any of the following four situations, bravely skip the interview with that company. A company that disrespects you during the recruiting stage is even less likely to treat you well after hiring you.

Bei, who was looking for a job, received an interview invitation from a company expressing a desire to meet with her. At first, the company notified her that the interview would be at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, but later changed it to 11 a.m. on Thursday. Although Bei was between jobs and had plenty of free time, she was still curious: Shouldn’t the recruiter have first asked when she was available? And when interview times keep changing, can everyone really accommodate them?
Every job seeker hopes to be treated kindly during an interview. Ryan, founder and CEO of Human Workplace, wrote in the American business magazine Forbes that job seekers will inevitably encounter recruiting companies that act superior, evaluating candidates with an attitude of, “I can decide whether to hire you. You’re nothing.”
Ryan said that this attitude is frightening and, more importantly, insulting. In response to Bei’s question, she also said that if a company genuinely wants to recruit talent, it should indeed ask, “When is the other person available for an interview?”
Ryan also said that many companies are extremely polite and courteous when they first contact job seekers to invite them to an interview, but once the interview stage arrives, they display an arrogant and discourteous attitude.
She said it is like a black hole for interview invitations. At first, the recruiter—or the person who calls you—makes you feel valued and special. But once you agree to proceed with the interview, the recruiting company’s attitude undergoes a complete 180-degree turn.
Ryan advises that if you encounter this situation, bravely skip the interview with that company. A company that disrespects you during the recruiting stage probably will not treat you well even if it actually hires you in the future.
Ryan also said that job seekers should skip the interview if they encounter any of the following four situations.
1. The recruiting company does not take you seriously
Ryan said that one example is when a recruiter does not first ask when the job seeker is available for an interview, or keeps changing the time after it has been scheduled.
2. If you feel bullied or threatened, run as fast as you can
Some internet users have said that during interviews they were asked to provide details of their past and current earnings, or even required to submit written documentation proving their past salary. They were told that if they lied, the company would severely punish them or take legal action, and so on.
In fact, recruiters have probably already set a salary range when searching for candidates, and companies should also be capable of calculating how much value your work can create. Therefore, you can focus on the salary you believe you can obtain now and work to persuade the recruiter why you are worth that amount.
Ryan advises that if you have already stated your position but the company continues to threaten you and pressure you to comply or do what the boss says, cross that company off your list of targets.
3. You discover through online research that the recruiting company has a terrible reputation—run
If you visit forums or job-bank websites and find that other people with firsthand experience have nothing but complaints about the company you are about to interview with and no positive reviews at all, run.

4. If your emails or calls never receive a response…
If you have questions for the company where you are about to interview, but your emails and calls disappear into a void, you may also want to consider canceling the interview outright. Ryan said that if a recruiting company truly values you and your questions, it will respond proactively.

Company: Clappin' International Co., Ltd.
The person in charge is the artist's son
Does not recommend
Traditional, outdated management practices; half of the company is a warehouse
Applicants need to fill out a form for the interview
The interviewer did not look at the English résumé and simply asked the applicant to come for an in-person interview, showing no respect for professionalism
The company probably does not know what kind of talent is needed in the Human Resources field
High turnover
Received an interview invitation, but they did not ask about the applicant’s availability in advance and scheduled it directly
Not recommended. Those looking for an ordinary job to earn a salary may consider it; it is better than factory positions.
On the day of the interview, I was first interviewed by an HR manager who had joined the company three months earlier. Since they were still quite inexperienced, they were unable to answer some of my questions. However, because the company’s industry was the same as my current employer’s, we had a fairly good conversation. Next was an interview with an associate manager, but they made me wait for over half an hour before starting. During that time, the HR staff and HR assistant felt bad about making me wait and asked whether I wanted to continue waiting or reschedule. Although I was stunned, I had already taken time off, so I decided to wait.
After finally finishing the meeting, the associate manager came in. Some of the questions during the interview felt like they were simply trying to extract operational management experience from someone in the same industry. At one point, they even called the company’s IT staff in and asked me to provide solutions for their reference. In the end, they said they would add me on LINE. Since I initially thought the opportunity was very promising, I was ultimately disappointed when there was no follow-up.
I interviewed there many years ago, and all of the internal managers have since been replaced, which suggests that turnover among the management team is high. The head of information technology at the time left, and the position has never been filled. Perhaps the company has managed to operate this way for many years, so it is not in a hurry to hire anyone, and it is also unclear what they want the person they hire to help with. Anyone considering an interview should think twice; it may simply be a waste of time.
Close to the MRT
1. Heavy reliance on paper-based work
2. Very high turnover
3. Low salary
4. The manager's abilities are average
Your supervisor will give you an endless amount of work, but your pay won’t increase.
I worked in the company’s production and manufacturing department and only resigned two weeks ago. The manufacturing team leader is unpopular and in poor health, so you end up doing all the work. He also has a particular talent for driving away every assistant. Sometimes he tells you obscure bits of knowledge; other times he says he has already dealt with all the difficult tasks. After casually moving two barrels of materials, he says he needs to rest. He is the most senior employee and something of a company veteran, but no one at the company is familiar with him. He also constantly brags about having more than a decade of experience, when in reality it is only entry-level production work that can be learned in three or four months if you study seriously. Most importantly, the monthly salary is less than NT$30,000, and there is no pay adjustment after the probationary period. That useless supervisor earns more than you, but you really cannot figure out what he is busy with. Some time ago, he developed high blood pressure after receiving the AZ vaccine, so he often has to go to the hospital for follow-up appointments. You do all the work alone. Sometimes he comes in, but you find that it would actually be better if he did not.

The supervisor doesn’t even know about the compensatory leave system. The work environment is focused on competing for sales results. There are countless rules, and after work, you still have to deal with a bunch of company matters on LINE. Every day, you’re constantly pressured by sales targets.
1. HR was very punctual
2. Convenient transportation
Position interviewed for: Senior Marketing Planner
During the interview, the Assistant HR Manager was very distracted, constantly gazing into the distance... They only focused on why you left your previous job rather than on your professional qualifications (their attitude was quite poor).
It seemed they had not carefully reviewed the resume before inviting the candidate for an interview. In summary: a waste of time
None
The interviewer’s attitude was poor. They invited me to an interview without seriously reviewing my résumé, and during the interview they kept criticizing me in an extremely rude tone!
This company does not discuss professional qualifications with you; it only wants to find thick-skinned employees. It is a customer-solicitation center for skincare products—very frightening...
Can't find any
The whole company has a multilevel-marketing-like atmosphere; it's really not okay
Still thinking about it
A very unfriendly work environment
The location is fairly convenient, right next to the MRT station exit.
The interview took place in an open area, with people constantly walking back and forth and coming in and out nearby. The interview process was very unprofessional, giving the impression that they were desperately short-staffed.
The company is conveniently located and clean.
The interviewing supervisor had a poor attitude, asking the applicant to come for an interview without seriously reviewing the résumé. During the interview, they kept finding fault and their tone was extremely rude!
The HR assistant manager was very punctual.
The HR assistant manager was completely distracted, with his attention entirely focused on his colleagues’ conversation not far away. He even inadvertently laughed along with them, perhaps because he heard them discussing some amusing gossip or content. Although I was led to an open, partitionless “office” on the fifth floor, the HR assistant manager still paid very close attention to his colleagues’ conversation in the distance....
However, he did still ask about the professional aspects (although it was clear from the questions he asked that this was not his area of expertise, he still patiently listened to my answers).
(It’s a good thing I wasn’t hired...)
The HR staff and interviewers were all very nice and courteous. The interview environment was also bright and comfortable.
A group interview.
It was very awkward to go up one by one and introduce ourselves to people we didn't know who had come for the interview.
The questionnaire completed during the interview included somewhat too many personal privacy questions,
including ID number, what kind of work the parents and family members do and their job titles,
as well as whether the family was experiencing financial difficulties, etc....
When introducing the company, they kept emphasizing that earning an annual salary of one million is not a dream,
which gave people the impression that they were very short-staffed...
None
If you search other websites, you can find salary information, job reviews, and so on—and they are all true. Being hired by the company does not mean becoming a full-time employee. You first have to attract customers for about a week, then undergo an assessment; only after passing the assessment do you have a chance to become a full-time employee. I really don't understand why someone with no experience would be asked to attract customers as part of their performance evaluation. It's not as if this is a sales position.
The interview environment was very good, and the supervisor was also very nice.
I wasn't hired T_T
The boss is very dedicated and gives subordinates plenty of room to perform.
However, senior management tends to get bogged down in details, which makes it difficult to work freely.
The office culture is rather cold at first, but after getting through the first three months, you’ll feel that everyone’s attitude has improved~
