They notified me about the interview.
Before going to the interview, I checked the job posting
only to find that the position had already been closed.
I called to ask whether I still needed to go.
They still told me to go.
After I arrived, they gave me a fairly difficult test.
I applied for a Spanish-speaking sales position.
The only relevant part was a Spanish email, and I don't even know whether anyone there could understand it.
Then, two minutes after I handed in the test, they said I wasn't suitable for them
and told me to leave. I have never encountered a company so disrespectful of people.

Workers’ salaries are set at the minimum wage of 26,400, which includes perfect-attendance and meal allowances of 104. The listed benefits look good, but in practice, various deductions mean you don’t receive the stated amount. It’s quite outrageous and does not comply with the Labor Standards Act.
Unclear. Throughout the entire interview, she was the only one asking me questions. When she asked about the job duties, I just said that I had already written them on 104.
She glossed over it~~~
The entire interview consisted of quite a lot of pointless questions: “Are any of your former colleagues still working there?” “How have your parents influenced you?”
And then came the most remarkable question at the end: “Why are you asking for 30,000?” I answered that working in a warehouse actually isn’t easy—sales staff may suddenly need to add more items, and there are a bunch of things to move around~~ But I’m asking for 30,000 because the starting salary for the warehouse clerk position is listed as 30,000.
Otherwise, how much was I supposed to ask for? 25,250? You wrote 30,000 yourself, and then you ask me why? If it hurts to offer that much, then offer less...
Someone comes in asking for a salary, and you’re still questioning it. What’s wrong with you???
I dreamed that I went to this company for an interview for an overseas sales position~
The interviewer was a woman, with delicate features, and she looked like one of my university classmates.
In terms of the industry, it appears stable (healthcare). Recently, due to the impact of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, business seems to be doing pretty well.
First, let me talk about the interview.
As soon as you go in, you have to fill out:
1. A basic information form
2. A test paper
The test paper is divided into: 1. Personal traits (the questions are listed below) 2. An English business development email 3. Translating an article from English into Chinese (the article is related to medicine and contains many technical terms)
The personal traits questions were: (please answer in English)
1. What qualities do you think a salesperson needs to have?
2. What characteristics do you have that make us need to hire you?
3. How would you familiarize yourself with the company’s products? What resources would you hope to receive after joining the company?
4. Faced with this competitive environment, how would you plan your life? Or what goals would you like to accomplish?
5. If you fail to meet your sales target, what would you think? What methods do you think could improve sales performance?
6. What are the “4 Ps of marketing” and “SWOT analysis”?
The English business development email was also very simple. The only difficult part was translating that article from English into Chinese. Since it contained many technical terms, it was normal not to be able to write everything, but you should translate as much as you can.
As for the salary, it is not difficult to ask for more than NT$40,000. There is a guaranteed 13 months of salary; the rest depends on performance.
The company’s working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:20 p.m., with a break from 12:10 to 1:10 p.m.
After joining, there are two probationary periods. The first is the week you initially join; after passing that, there is a two-month probationary period.
The internal atmosphere seems good. Although it is an old-school company, there is not too much of that old-school atmosphere inside.
People with some medical background could give it a try (but the person who interviewed me was also not from a related field, so it is not necessarily the case that people without a relevant degree have no chance).
However, I felt that I would not be hired, so I did not ask any further questions.
I hope this information can help everyone.
P.S. Tianyancha is still better—you can share information without needing any stupid points system.
I wouldn’t know, since I didn’t get in and work there.
