The entire process took almost a month, from the time the HR contacted me, till the final interview with the Operations Director. During the process, there was also Language Validation with one of their senior account helpdesk agent, in order to test my Mandarin skills, which comprises me translating the passage into Simplified and Traditional Mandarin, before reading them aloud and explaining them. The interview with the HR Director and hiring manager went well though, as we were given the opportunity to discuss further on the job and company culture. However what my referees and later myself found unprofessional was how the reference checks were done, because the initial question asked was ambigous, meaning she wanted my referees to describe my work ethics in general, when all they were concerned was my attendance. This was unacceptable as the HR who is based in the Philippines, has wasted my referees time in preparing the answer. In the end my profile was KIV, despite my glowing reference check.
