If you're about to go to an interview, you absolutely must read my post! You really must.
I worked there before, and there is a huge amount of work to handle in this job. Since it is a sales assistant position, naturally the sales staff will also have a lot of problems for you to deal with. They will ask you to handle things during work hours, at the end of the day, and even on holidays. I think that's all understandable given the requirements of the position.
Here is the key point!! The company has at least 100 products, perhaps more—in short, a lot. During the first week, my colleagues and supervisor were very nice. They told me, "It's okay, take your time learning, and don't be too hard on yourself." But during the second week, if you made a mistake, the company would start showing its true colors. Oh, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the company. Your expressions at work will be monitored, and they observe you extremely closely. Then, if you are still unfamiliar with the work during your second week, you may be fired!
Let me share what happened to me. I am an extremely hardworking person, but the company believes that hard work is useless. On your first day, you will sign a pile of contracts. One of them says that during the three-month probationary period, the company can fire you unconditionally. This is actually already noncompliant with Taiwan's Labor Standards Act. During my second week of work, the company called me in for a meeting. The entire conversation lasted less than five minutes. They said, "You've already worked here for two weeks and still don't know how to do anything. You're not suitable for this job. Go downstairs, pack up your things, and go home." Then, before I left, they asked me to sign a voluntary resignation agreement.
Of course, everything looks great on the surface during the first week. But after that week, you will understand. If you are extremely submissive, have an exceptionally good memory, can learn everything after being taught just once, and can even draw inferences from what you learn—while also not asking too many questions—oh, and ideally, you can do everything without being taught at all, then even better: welcome to apply.
The job posting says new graduates are welcome, but in reality, they really dislike hiring fresh graduates. They want people who can immediately do everything from day one, learn very quickly, and not have too many questions. If you have too many questions, you will be listed on the audit sheet. The company has many products that you must understand immediately! On your first day, they will not take the time to introduce the products to you; you are expected to start working right away. When you make a mistake, they will say on the surface that it's okay, but it will still be written down on the audit sheet. And if you are a serious, hardworking person, your effort is useless here, because I really worked extremely hard and was still fired. (I'm not someone who is careless or simply likes to complain about companies. I genuinely worked very hard for the company and even stayed late to become familiar with the company's usual operating systems.) The kind of person they need is someone who knows everything immediately upon arrival and requires absolutely no training. If, after two weeks, there are still things you don't know, they will ask you to sign a voluntary resignation form.

They randomly sent interview invitations to a bunch of people, and on the day of the interview, they were just as random during the interview itself. Astonishing.
