Read the community guidelinesThe company is located near a commercial building, adjacent to a school and shopping district, with convenient transportation. After going up to the building, I saw that the company’s interior was a standard office of approximately 50–60 ping. The environment was very quiet, with a few employees working at their desks. It did not appear to be completely full. A woman in her 30s escorted me to a meeting room to fill out a basic information form, as well as another sheet containing basic accounting questions, including multiple-choice questions, short-answer journal-entry questions, and short-answer tax filing questions.
After spending some time completing everything, the accounting employee who had escorted me in and another supervisor, Mr. Wu, who appeared to be in his 50s, came in to conduct the interview. After a brief self-introduction, the accounting employee first explained that the position was being added because the company’s workload had increased. In addition to sharing the work she currently handles, the new employee would also need to keep the work going during her vacation. Mr. Wu added that this position would provide a complete opportunity to learn the company’s accounting procedures. The accounting employee then organized a table listing all of her job responsibilities one by one. The main duties were accounting-related; other responsibilities included supporting all internal administrative matters, such as personnel and payroll and purchasing office supplies.
They repeatedly emphasized that the company valued passing on knowledge and would explain each job responsibility step by step in an orderly manner. The list prepared by the accounting employee also made it clear why the company needed to expand the team: there were many complicated tasks, including handling the filing of Second-Generation National Health Insurance premiums, business tax, profit-seeking enterprise income tax, and other items.
The remaining part of the interview covered matters such as the working hours. They explained that a second interview would be required, and the interview ended after saying that notification would be provided in a few days.
Overall, the impression was fairly positive. The accounting employee seemed very friendly. Before I left, we briefly chatted about the surrounding environment and commuting; parking spaces could be rented. I also mentioned that this was my first interview. Unlike many companies that divide accounting records into internal and external books, this company has its internal staff handle almost all of its accounting work. Since this is a newly added position, there would be no handover-related problems, and the person could gradually learn the company’s overall accounting procedures through the work. It would be suitable for someone who wants to further improve their understanding of tax filing procedures.
The company was excessively quiet, almost to the point of feeling dull.
