China Telecom Interview Questions
& Process

I had an online interview with the hiring manager, and then an in-person one with the director. They asked about my past work, daily tasks, and how I handle billing, customer, and internal team interactions. The process was easy and straightforward.

The HR Manager asked me why I wanted to join the company and why I was interested in this specific role. They also asked me to talk about my past projects and asked a lot of personal questions, like if I was the single child and which city I came from.

The interviewers asked really detailed questions and took their time learning about my previous work, especially if I had experience with competitor companies. They were very polite, and the interview felt more like a casual chat than a formal process.

The interview process involved two main rounds. The first round was a face-to-face interview that was scheduled with short notice, just two days beforehand, but it went quite smoothly. The second round was a video call with the CFO. This interview, however, was a very negative experience. The interview appointment was only communicated the day before, around 5 PM. During the call, the interviewer's network connection kept dropping, interrupting the conversation. Furthermore, the interviewer was very disruptive, interrupting me multiple times and showing a reluctance to listen. When it was my turn to ask questions, the interviewer abruptly stated I only had 5 minutes, which felt rude given the circumstances. It made me wonder why I was contacted if the interviewer lacked adequate time. Both interviews were conducted in Mandarin.
