I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marriott International (Uniondale, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
Interviewed with Front Office Manager and Supervisor. They made the interview a comfortable process. It will be STAR interview questions so prepare to answer with situations and positive results! STAR is Situation; Task; Action; Result. They asked probably 3 - 5 questions and described the position. Bring extra copies of your resume and study up on the company and be ready with situations and you will be fine. You wouldn't have been asked to interview unless you have qualities that the management team saw as impressive.
It was a super chill interview, they definitely used the STAR method and asked typical questions, including about how to deal with a rude guest, and how you deal with a rude or uncomfortable coworker.
