1. I interviewed for an assistant position, and the interviewing manager looked so sour during the interview. I don't know why they had to look so unpleasant.
2. It's a responsibility-based position, and assistants are required to be on call in the group chat after work and on weekends, checking group messages and reporting back at any time.
3. The entire interview process felt terrible. The interviewing manager came across as aloof and condescending, with no empathy.
4. If you can't offer a generous salary, please don't invite assistants with more than 10 years of work experience to interview. Thanks.
5. By the way, assistants are also required to move heavy objects, probably over 10 kilograms.
6. Throughout the interview, people kept walking onto the meeting-room balcony to smoke. It was incredibly smelly. I honestly couldn't tell whether I was there for an interview or to inhale secondhand smoke.
7. On top of that, you also have to do miscellaneous chores.
8. They really didn't dare state the salary clearly, only saying that if business performance is good, the boss won't be stingy. A small-minded, narrow-minded little business.
The office feels very new
When I went in for the interview, I only saw one receptionist outside. After going in, I only saw the CFO in a private office; none of the other desks were occupied, and the desktops were completely clean. It felt very strange, like a shell company…
None
1. This company has had the same job opening posted for years; it has been visible for at least two years.
2. There are two interviews: the first is supposedly with the CFO (actually the owner’s wife), and the second is with the owner from mainland China.
3. Return to Taiwan four times a year.
4. Food and accommodation provided.
5. They refuse to disclose the salary, only saying that capable employees will be paid accordingly and that it must be discussed with the owner.
6. After the entire interview, my impression was simply that this is a petty, narrow-minded small or medium-sized enterprise. They dared not state the salary clearly and could not give a timeline when asked how long the interview process would take or when there would be an update. It felt like they just wanted to hire cheap labor but did not dare say so openly, so they were evasive—perhaps because they were afraid of being laughed at and embarrassed if they said it outright.
