Job Hunting

After a completion of my military service, I went for a vacation with my best friend. While being at my second home, I'd kept asking myself I shall either look for a job in Taiwan or just stay in America. My plan before going to military service, I was thinking to work at Taiwan for one year, in order to obtain a recommendation letter from my company. Then, I would be able to apply for one of the greatest university that provides a great MBA program. But, it's hard to get in one of them at that time due to the inefficient experiences. After a sequence of discusses and consideration with my parents and relatives, I decided to come back to Taiwan firstly. So, I started to look for a job here with submitting my resumes in 104 and 1111 banks. It's absolutely a hard time for me, or for everyone with a "BLANK-like" resume.

With a consistent researching and submitting, I'd interviewed with great companies for many times. It's my great honor to speak with them and to know what they really want and expect for. In the midst of May, I was successfully accepted by Chinatrust with a position of ARM, which is a challenge and competitive position for "Newers" in real society. Therefore, I am free and stop looking for a job currently, and trying to get myself relaxed by exercising, biking, swimming and traveling. I feel I've got a great luck to get this fantastic position.

By comparing Taiwanese Job market to American one, it's a quite different, especially for respect.In America, it's kind of impossible to see employers looking into resumes consistently, and to ask a disrespect question, such as if you were married, what your parents do, how your relationship's going with. That's what my countries are doing and asking. Also, I've got an interview opportunity with an investment consulting group that asked a dumb-ass question during the interview. The employer said, "Oh, we only accepted those who with a graduate degree, and unfortunately you've only had a bachelor one." I was like, "WTF, I didn't submit my resume to this company. It's the HR calling me to come." It's extremely disrespect to job-hunters. But, unfortunately, it really happens and just as usual to most of companies.

Luckily, Chinatrust is different. Its HR and supervisors are professional and respectful. They treat us like their family even though we aren't got an offers yet. They smile at us and teach those who have made a mistake in the interview. At the end, they send us a thank-you letter with sincere words. It's my honor to work and to contribute myself fully at this company.
