Hmm... Very casual.

The company feels old and run-down, with a cluttered layout like a home. The interview was very insincere and rude.

None

1. You need to bring your own résumé to the interview, and once you arrive, you will also have to fill out another company résumé.

(On the back is a translation test, mainly translating content from the website. All the answers are in the website DM.)

2. The internal screening involves age and gender discrimination for the position—I’m giving you a warning in advance.

(If you are male, too old, or too talkative, you are very likely to be rejected.)

3. You will then proceed to the self-introduction stage. If the position is in sales or website-related, the interview ends after the first interview with the boss.

If it is an accounting or cashier position, there will be an additional interview with the factory manager.

*Because the factory manager is only in the office in the morning (9:00–12:00), accounting and cashier applicants will always be scheduled for morning interviews.

4. At the beginning of the interview, you will notice the office environment and the boss’s attitude. The office is located in a residence, and the entrance is difficult to find on Google. It only shows the scenery at the park entrance; you need to walk into the park and look along the pedestrian path on the left to find it.

If you can accept that, you will next face a terrifying challenge.

What salary are you asking for?

You can name your own amount; the bottom-line range is NT$40,000–60,000.

Have you done this kind of work before, or do you have relevant experience?

Just answer according to what is stated on your résumé.

1. Do not go—this place is a complete disaster! Once you start working there, the job is completely different from the duties described above.

Every day, you have to revise the DM copy, text size, colors, fonts, and layout according to the boss’s preferences. You will have to handle domestic and international sales work as well as the boss’s miscellaneous tasks—it will completely overturn what you expected.

2. They want to run Google keyword ads and require you to click and verify, as well as obtain unreasonable information such as the IP addresses and company details of people who purchase or click.

3. The boss is nearly 90 years old. He uses his own reasoning as the logic governing the world. At work, expressing things, explaining them, handling results, contacting third parties, and so on are all like playing music to a deaf ear. You also need to be mentally strong enough to endure sarcasm and scolding.

4. The company uses pirated systems and pirated software, which could result in being sued and facing legal action! I have already suffered from this myself!

I genuinely advise anyone who is completely out of options and considering taking the job to think twice.

1. Environment: A company with 40 years of history, but the environment is like an ordinary residence. During the interview, I saw only four people (including the owner). There is no professional HR department, so there was also no company introduction, systems, benefits, or other professional information.

2. Written test: The interview required filling out résumé information (even though I had already sent both the standard 104 résumé and my personal English résumé before the interview). Therefore, upon arriving at the interview location, I still had to copy the entire genealogy (typo) all over again. There was also a very simple English-to-Chinese translation. While spending 20–25 minutes completing this, I opened my résumé on my phone and looked at it while writing to save time. The owner immediately walked over and told me that I could not look at my phone to search for translations, but I immediately explained that I was checking my résumé, not looking up translations. During the process, I noticed other personnel secretly looking at their phones...

3. Interview: As soon as I sat down, after looking at my résumé and translation, the owner immediately asked when I could start work. From the interviewer’s questions and conversation, it was apparent that the interviewer had not reviewed the applicant’s résumé in advance and knew nothing about the applicant’s background, work experience, expected salary, or other information listed in the electronic résumé. In addition, while filling in my expected salary at the bottom of the company’s résumé form, I noticed two small lines of text stating that if an employee leaves before completing a full month of work, salary will be paid according to the Labor Standards Act. The owner said that he was not familiar with the Labor Standards Act’s regulations....

4. Salary: NT$35K (the owner said this is the standard for people just joining the company), not the regular salary of NT$40,000 or more indicated on the numerical job website. Although there is a sales commission, the regular monthly amount was not specified. In addition, there is performance pressure and performance requirements after three months.

5. Overall impression: This was not a meaningful interview. It wasted both parties’ time, and wasted even more of the applicant’s resources and time.
