During the interview, there was one manager and two senior colleagues. The manager left after just five minutes of interviewing, leaving only the two senior colleagues to continue casually chatting with me. To be honest, it felt really bad. We also spend time attending interviews; if they truly felt that my work experience was not a match, shouldn't they have refrained from inviting me to interview in the first place, rather than wasting both our time? Later, the two senior colleagues made small talk, which felt very much like an attempt not to make the situation too awkward. This was the first time I had gone to an interview where the manager left after five minutes and never came back....
The interview was purely conversational, conducted in two rounds: HR led the first, followed by representatives from the hiring department.
Be careful—HR will stop at nothing to dig into every detail of your family background, even going so far as to mention requiring a certificate of good conduct. Also, there is no need to negotiate the salary; at the very least, it can be said that it will not be particularly high.
For the three annual festival bonuses, you get only tissues, tissues, and tissues, because they directly convert all three bonuses into so-called points in SinoPac’s store.
It is probably still a company whose selection criteria are positively correlated with the compensation applicants state in their résumés. After all, no matter how cleverly they disguise it, it is still a miserable company.
At the end of the interview, they will tell you that they will notify you if a second interview is needed, and that you will have to wait one to two weeks. Supposedly, this is to “compare” the other interviewees. However, judging from the number of job postings on the “Slave Bank” website, applications are supposedly flooding in. Could it be that 104 Job Bank, 123, or 518 has a huge number of job seekers?
You can guess the answer. Heh.
1. Very close to the MRT station
2. A huge company; if you can accept its old-fashioned systems, spending some time there should help your résumé
1. The interview process was lengthy and took a total of three hours
2. If you pass the interview, you may need to provide information about your previous company for a reference check
3. During the process, they will try to lower your salary expectations and emphasize that salaries in traditional industries are usually not that high
4. The restroom is located inside a small compartment, and you must use your access card every time you enter or leave that compartment
HR and the department manager were both very courteous. The department manager explained the job duties in detail and answered every question. They were experienced and willing to share. The office environment seemed nice, and the company has its own building.
HR was very busy, and I had to wait more than 30 minutes for the interview. The professional assessment was difficult, involving essay questions and translation.
None
1. Most of them are fake job postings, used by HR for performance metrics. After applying many times, HR finally called to give a brief explanation—already six months later.
2. They want someone who can hit the ground running, yet the salary is very poor. Don’t waste your time going to the interview.
None
1. A degree from a national university is required; if your educational background does not meet the company’s requirements, you will also be criticized.
2. You are expected to know everything and be able to get up to speed immediately, while the pay is very poor. Don’t waste your time going to the interview.
3. There is a high likelihood that this is a fake job posting, probably created for HR performance metrics.
