Submitted my resume on 2/28 and 3/17; received a call on 3/19 notifying me of an interview the next day.

The base salary is NT$30,000. After completing the three-month probationary period, there is a bonus commission. Seven days off per month, with the option to take two two-day breaks. You arrange your own days off. After six months, you get 3 days of annual leave; after one year, 6 days. The store manager who interviewed me was very friendly.

The benefits sound very good, but I don't know whether I can actually receive them after joining. I hope someone can clarify.

The company is about a 3-minute walk from Shilin MRT Station. The exterior is very attractive, but the office interior is cluttered with many things, making the space look quite cramped.

After entering the meeting room, you are given a confusing test paper, and it is unclear what the purpose of the questions is.

There are two interviewers, but mainly one person asks the questions. However, they mostly ask questions that are not very relevant to the position being interviewed for.

They also ask about the organizational structure of your previous company and so on.

It is a huge waste of time, and I did not know why I was there. During the interview, I just wanted it to end as soon as possible.

The office is on Zhongshan North Road, which is practically a luxury residential area. It’s a pleasure to work here, and there are lots of food options.

But there is still a second interview. I hope I get hired.

I couldn’t find it on the 104 website because it had been renamed New Land International.

None

On 104, ask the job applicant to call Human Resources.

Human Resources asked questions over the phone that were already covered on the résumé. The questions were very unprofessional.

After asking the questions, they said the supervisor would notify me later.

The entire process was strange.

Not recommended

The headquarters looks quite spacious, but... it’s in the basement.

There were two people in the interview: one interviewer and the general manager (who only observed during the process).

The interviewer kept asking very narrow questions that were difficult to answer in just a few words.

The questions were not very professional (it felt like the interviewer was a new supervisor without much experience).

The questions also missed the point, and I did not feel that they were trying to discover my strengths.

The entire interview felt very perfunctory.

The interviewer also kept interrupting me while I was speaking.

My résumé already clearly states my work history,

yet I was repeatedly asked questions outside my area of expertise.

If my résumé did not match the requirements of the position, why invite me to travel such a long way for an interview?

Perhaps my answers were not what the company wanted to hear.

The interviewer even gave a dismissive, sarcastic smirk.

I have never felt this uncomfortable in an interview before.

I had prepared many questions to discuss with the company during the interview,

but later I no longer wanted to ask any of them—I just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

My résumé also states “very clearly” what I am good at and what areas of work I am looking for.

It was obvious that this company had not carefully reviewed the applicant’s experience during recruitment, and I still had to endure their mocking.

An interview should be a mutual assessment of whether both sides are a good fit,

not an opportunity to treat candidates who made the effort to attend an interview with this kind of attitude.

It was a bit of a waste of the time and transportation costs involved in taking leave to attend the interview.

Not recommended!
