Read the community guidelinesI applied for a position in Taipei. The HR representative was very attentive. From notifying me about the first interview to arranging the second interview, communication was very clear, and they also gave me a general overview of the company’s current situation and whether it would accept someone with my background.
I got the impression that both HR and the participating managers had read the candidate’s résumé before the interview. It never felt perfunctory or as though they were just going through the motions.
For the first interview, I spoke remotely with a manager from the Tainan headquarters. I had done my homework thoroughly, so I did not need to ask many questions.
For the second interview, the manager also explained in detail the challenges involved in the position. I had also prepared quite a few questions about the industry.
I am very grateful to the manager, who spent quite a lot of time with me. I learned a great deal!
Overall, compared with other companies in the same industry, the interview experience felt very warm and personable!
None. I was personally very satisfied with the interview process and the communication between both sides, and I felt respected.
1. The colleagues are nice.
2. The job does not really require experience; all you need is a fresh liver.
3. You can learn while working, and experienced colleagues are generous about sharing how they handle things.
4. Since attendance is required, you can practice planning routes using public transportation.
5. You realize that work is just an idle game that pays you money—there is nothing to be afraid of, so just get on with it. Quitting is actually a kind of liberation.
1. The work is busy, with so much to do that there is not even time to urinate.
2. In addition to regular working hours, you need to be on duty for one week each week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
3. The on-duty pay is pitifully low—less than what you could make selling orchids.
4. The on-duty hours and workload are so intense that you even dream about being on duty while sleeping.
5. There is almost no system for raises.
6. The boss often makes grand promises and talks nonsense, wasting time.
7. A colleague at the southern headquarters is notoriously short-tempered, creating a poor work atmosphere.
