1. Electric vehicle peripherals

2. E-commerce sales, a future trend

The boss likes to repeat himself and is stubborn and opinionated. He always talks more than he does, likes to paint employees a grand vision and raise their expectations, and then blames employees for not working hard enough when they fail to achieve it. It’s better not to do anything than to do something!

Choosing this company can help you develop quite a few skills you didn’t previously have.

The office is just as you imagine it. You’ll know once you’ve been there!

Experienced the most special interview of my life.

I have participated in countless interviews,

but this was the only one that left a deep impression.

After the interview, I went to Tianyancha to look at other people's interview experiences,

only to find out that all the SOPs were actually the same.

Working inside a private residence,

with two part-time employees in front of computers experiencing all of this～

(Main text begins)

1. “Fake address”

I arrived for the interview at around 5:30 sharp.

The address provided was fake.

It was clearly inside Lane 3 of XX Road,

yet they insisted on giving a fake address

and asked me to call so someone could come out to meet me.

2. “Late arrival”

After entering the dimly lit “private residence,”

the work environment was worse than my room.

A part-time employee led me inside,

saying that the boss had not arrived yet

and asking me to take a test first？？？

3. “The test”

The young part-time employee looked at me in a panic

and messaged the boss through the computer beside her.

“The boss asks you to take the Chinese typing test first.”

I asked how many minutes the test would take.

“The boss says 10 minutes.”

At that moment, I really wanted to leave,

but because it was so interesting,

I wanted to see the boss in person,

so I stayed and started typing.

Halfway through, the boss drove back,

put down a pile of things he had bought from COSTCO,

and asked the part-time employee to carry them inside.

I patiently finished the last two minutes of the Chinese typing test.

After I finished,

the boss greeted me

and briefly introduced himself,

then said, “Wait～let me say something on the phone.

Continue with the English typing test......”

4. “Test 2.0”

After finishing the Chinese and English typing tests,

I thought that would be it.

“Have you done the English test?”

At that moment, I thought,

is this itself another test?

I had almost forgotten what position I was applying for.

Was it a “typist” or something?

Finally, there were 10 English test questions

and 10 audio test questions.

The battered old keyboard

was wrapped in a thick layer of plastic wrap.

As my fingers struck the keys,

the unpleasant feedback completely exhausted my patience.

In the end, without really reading the questions,

I got a score of 61.

(Because I just wanted to hurry up and interview this legendary person～the score was no longer important.)

5. “So, do you think you’ll be a vice president 30 years from now?”

After everything was finished, he asked me to sit on the sofa for a while.

Already somewhat impatient, I was scrolling on my phone,

and half an hour had passed.

The boss was still talking on the phone,

busy with his own affairs.

Finally, he turned around,

looked at my résumé after I handed it over,

and asked, “How long did you stay at your previous job?”

“One year.”

“And the job before that?”

“Ten months.”

(After a minute of silence......)

“I’ll give you some advice.”

“You should stay at your jobs longer.

You know the vice president of XX Company?

He worked at one company for 30 years.

When he encounters problems, he doesn’t blame this or that;

he helps the company and the boss solve the problems.”

(After another minute of silence......)

“Do you know why Japanese companies have a lifetime employment culture?”

“Because every employee thinks about the company,

improves their own abilities,

and makes money for the company......”

“So, do you think you’ll be a vice president 30 years from now?”

Me: ..........

6. “The Foxconn engineer with a million-dollar annual salary”

After the topic above came to an end,

the boss began saying that he had been a Foxconn engineer.

Later, he had gone out on his own.

At the time, his annual salary was one million.

His friend, a TSMC engineer, earned five million a year.

I didn’t really understand why he was telling me all this,

but I really wanted to ask him:

Why didn’t you stay at Foxconn for 30 years,

and then start your own business,

only to mistreat employees here in a place worse than my room?

7. “What can you do? Oh～not bad.”

After going through the series of circular, bizarre exchanges above,

we finally returned to my own abilities.

“You can edit videos～?”

“Yes!”

(Only then did I finally remember～the position I applied for involved video editing and photography.)

“Can you use PS and AI?”

“A little～but I’m not proficient.”

“Then what software do you use?”

(Small talk.)

“What version do you use?”

(Small talk.)

He even said in the end that the Chinese and English typing tests earlier had also been tests,

just not tests of how fast I could type.

They were tests of what kind of person I was.

Back to the point,

let’s talk about this boss.

Perhaps he had suffered some kind of trauma after leaving Foxconn.

Basically, every word he said was testing something.

What he truly wanted to ask was not actually what he asked.

The last thing this boss said to me

came in a phone call made at almost 10 p.m.

The content was roughly......

“Because you have some abilities,

and you can do AI + PS + FCPX + marketing and ad placement + still photography + motion photography,”

would an hourly wage of 175 be okay？？

Thank you～Taiwanese Elon Musk.

Hope you make it to the moon～

Mainly provides services for electric vehicle accessories; the industry outlook is promising.

First of all, because I am a foreign national, I may not have been familiar with the interview process at local companies, so my description of the overall interview experience may be somewhat biased.

I received the interview call after dinner. Since the location was close to home, I thought I could drop by to take a look and have a chat, and that would be fine (I feel the other party may also have thought this was the reason).

The interview took place inside a private residence. After entering through the main door, there was an area resembling a living room, with two employees working there. The interview was conducted less than one meter away from the employees. The interviewer sat on a sofa, I sat on an office chair, and there was a coffee table between us.

(Before coming to Taiwan, I was also a supervisor, and interviews were a common part of my work. The usual practice was to find a separate space so that the interviewee and the company’s employees were separated. This was the first time I had encountered a situation where employees could witness the entire interview and hear every word of the conversation and discussion.)

They carefully asked about the positions I held and my work responsibilities at every company I had worked for. The interviewer was particularly interested in the details of my work and marketing strategies at the last company I worked for before coming to Taiwan. Finally, they asked what I did with Suger CRM. I said it was a customer relationship management system, and the interviewer then asked what it was used for.

(I felt that the question about what CRM is used for was deliberately intended to test me.)

There was an on-site test of Zhuyin typing and basic English listening. The computer speakers were somewhat quiet, and after they were adjusted, the test was not restarted, which wasted some time. The interviewer was also on the phone the entire time, and I could hear the discussion clearly: “The person we interviewed before had decent English. Can we put him under someone’s supervision?” and so on. (Yes, the interviewer’s volume affected my English listening test.)

After I finished the test, the interviewer looked at the results and said in front of everyone, “You’re just average.”

At that point, because of the details described above, I had no intention of working for this company.

The interview was more or less over. When I returned to my seat, the interviewer asked, “When can you start working?”

I immediately answered, “What about the salary?”

The interviewer replied, “I’ll notify you by phone later.”

(Even if the job posting lists the job responsibilities, wouldn’t they normally explain them in more detail during the interview? The salary information in the job posting only gave a range, and they had not settled on an exact figure yet, but they still dared to ask someone to start work? Not to mention overtime or holiday arrangements.)

Just as I was about to leave, the interviewer also signaled to an employee to give me the interviewer’s business card. I assume they were also treating me as a potential marketing target—what if I became a potential customer in the future!?~!~

Throughout the entire interview, I did not feel that the interviewer presented any vision for the company’s future. After all, from beginning to end, I did not hear even a word of introduction to the company. I cannot say that the company is bad, since I only went for an interview and do not understand its internal operations. That is all.
