Read the community guidelinesThe company proactively invited me to an interview for the position of Management Department—Procurement Clerk.
Before the interview, I had to fill out relevant information and take tests beside the security office. First, I completed the test and entered personal information outdoors, then went into the office to fill out additional information. The test included writing uppercase and lowercase English letters, listing your weaknesses and strengths, describing yourself in one sentence, and checking off questions about various abilities. Personal information was also collected, though some fields could be left blank. I felt that the ID number, height, weight, and eyesight sections did not need to be completed. Afterward, a staff member led me into a small reception room, where I had to complete an 80-second arithmetic test, followed by a simple Excel test involving setting column widths and row heights and using functions for calculations. These tasks took about an hour in total.
The interview questions were based on the personal information provided at the beginning. Overall, the interview experience was satisfactory. I was asked which Excel functions I knew, how many words I could type in Excel in one minute, and whether I knew what procurement work involved, among other questions.
1. The entire process took approximately 1.5 hours and included tests, filling out basic information, an arithmetic test, and an Excel skills test, making it somewhat tedious and time-consuming.
2. There was basically a smell of plastic both outdoors and inside the office, so those sensitive to odors should consider this carefully.
3. I recommend doing more research online.
4. Salary and benefits—there is no perfect-attendance bonus. For example, with a monthly salary of NT$31,000, labor and health insurance premiums and labor pension contributions will still be deducted. If you take leave, further deductions may continue to be made.
5. The procurement clerk position involves frequent use of Excel and an ERP system, so you should consider whether this suits you.
