Talked about my interests

They called even though I hadn't submitted an application. It's a perennial job opening, and related reviews can easily be found online. They often don't explain the position in detail over the phone; you have to take a course and review the company before they arrange a position for you. Also, I've heard from people who worked there that there is no salary for the first three months, though I'm not sure how true that is. Basically, it can be ruled out.

Good view

No technical skills, and the interviewer had a sour face. It pretty much fits the image of companies nowadays—go for an interview and you'll see~

The headquarters’ interior is very impressive and is also a well-known landmark in Taipei’s Xinyi District.

During the interview, I was interviewed by two male managers together. The questions they asked made them seem rather unprofessional, and some of the things they said were plainly incorrect. They also asked about my family’s personal circumstances. Honestly, what my family is like is my own business—what does it have to do with the job? Asking questions like that already feels like an invasion of privacy. They also spoke disparagingly about previous employers, making sarcastic remarks implying that the interviewee’s former company was not large enough, and so on. It was really baffling.

The interviewers were allowed to ask questions, but I wasn’t. I had only asked one work-related question, yet they immediately asked me why I wanted to ask it. Isn’t an interview supposed to allow candidates to ask questions? What was that about? I asked only one question during the entire interview, and after that they would not let me ask anything else.

From beginning to end, the two managers had a self-centered attitude. Although they smiled while speaking, it was obvious that their expressions were merely forced. At the end, one of them simply said that the interview was over and walked out of the meeting room without looking back. I never heard anything afterward—not even a thank-you email. It felt like the managers cared only about themselves and had no concern for the interviewee’s thoughts. The starting salary is also relatively low compared with other life insurance companies. Overall, it left a very poor impression, and I do not recommend it.

I was encouraged to work as an insurance agent.

But I came to interview for an administrative assistant position.

The Maosheng branch office in Banqiao, New Taipei, is led by a branch manager who deceives people. The head office has a program allowing full-time employees to transfer to part-time positions, but the branch manager insists that this is prohibited by “internal regulations” and refuses to allow employees to switch to part-time work. They claim this is to maintain service quality, but policyholders are all relatives and friends whom they see every day—what service problem could there be? It is clearly just an obstruction intended to seize policies and earn service commissions. With such despicable tactics, absolutely do not buy insurance from them, and do not go to work at this branch office.

1. The Taichung headquarters, the Far Eastern Building, is very tall and large.

2. The interview invitation clearly states the interview time, location, and things to note. The second interview/pre-employment training is also notified by text message.

3. The interview covers self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, leisure activities, and more, so it seems they make a fairly comprehensive effort to understand applicants.

1. There are two options—trainee supervisor and salesperson. The person who called did not seem to be very familiar with the job duties. The second-stage review/pre-employment training provides more information about the job, and any questions can be clarified at that stage.

2. Contract-based employment means there is no base salary. It is better to accept this condition before joining; otherwise, you may hesitate after joining if you did not clarify it beforehand.

3. To be honest, neither the trainee supervisor nor salesperson position is purely an internal office job. The trainee supervisor position is actually similar to the management trainee positions recruited by other insurance companies, and trainee supervisors are not actually HR personnel.

4. The application form requires very detailed information, including previous jobs and compensation, and even the names, ages, and occupations of family members. I believe asking about family members raises privacy concerns.

They called and immediately asked what days and times I was available for an interview. They did not proactively introduce the position, and said that the position was not posted on any public webpage and would only be introduced and explained on the day of the interview. They said it was for a management trainee position, involving both HR and marketing work (though they initially said HR and sales). When I asked how they got my contact information, they said I might have applied to another company in the group (but after reading online posts, I found that they search for people's information everywhere and call them).

Whenever I expressed interest in learning more about the position, they quickly brushed it aside. It felt like they only wanted to keep the conversation focused on explaining the interview details so that I would accept the interview invitation.

None

A severe bureaucratic culture, emotional management, and a pile of pointless reports

None

Misleading recruitment:

During the phone invitation, they used the Farglory Group name without saying which business unit was recruiting. They said they were recruiting talent for a marketing planning position. I asked twice, and both times they told me they were recruiting for an HR position, which was why I agreed to go to the interview. It was only when I arrived at the interview venue that I realized I had been deceived. There was no HR position at all; they were actually recruiting insurance sales agents. They simply wanted to trick people into going to the interview venue to boost their interview performance numbers.

I don't know

If you're hiring, just say you're hiring.

There's no need to claim you're another company and trick people into coming to an interview.

None

They keep calling to schedule interviews, and the position keeps changing

None

The job description provided over the phone was vague. When I asked for clarification about the position, they said they didn’t know and only kept saying, “I’m from HR,” trying to get me to go to an interview within a few days. Only after I kept asking did they finally admit that it was a life insurance company. Regardless of what the management trainee ultimately does, it is just a different department within the same life insurance company; most new hires end up doing sales.

The most troublesome part is that they will keep calling you, often from different people (either the company handles personal information carelessly, or they are just making random calls).

None

I don't even know how they got my information

None at all

How short-staffed are they? It’s basically a harassing call. They don’t care what your expertise is or what position you’re looking for—they just want you to go to an interview.

I’ve already received their inquiry calls many times—are they really that short-staffed? And when they call, they only say that they’re the Farglory recruitment center. There are many companies using the Farglory name! How am I supposed to know which company it is? When I asked what position they were calling about, they couldn’t explain clearly. It’s terrible—I keep getting harassed by them.
