      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Hsinchu) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      At the beginning, I had to go to the security office at the entrance to exchange my ID. After that, a staff member led me into a meeting room to wait. It was clear that the HR was very busy, walking at a very fast pace. Once inside the meeting room, we first took an English computer-based test. The HR mentioned that the company’s laptop had encountered an unexpected issue, so they had to borrow another one as a backup. However, it couldn’t connect to the company VPN, so I had to use my own mobile hotspot to complete the test. The questions were similar to TOEIC-style questions, but I felt that some of the vocabulary used was not typical of standard TOEIC, and seemed a bit obscure. After the test, the department supervisor came in to conduct the interview. She first asked us to introduce ourselves, and occasionally interrupted with follow-up questions. Most of the questions were about “why we wanted to leave our current job,” “our thoughts on shift work,” and “asking us to rank the job duties we liked the most and the least.” After reviewing my background, the supervisor said, “The work in the semiconductor industry is much more difficult than what you've done before. This is your first time interviewing in the semiconductor field, right?” The tone conveyed a somewhat condescending attitude, which made the atmosphere slightly tense.
