I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Marriott International (Hamilton, NJ) in Mar 2016
Interview
Everything went well and the two hiring managers seemed very interested in me and what i was saying. I really thought that i had nabbed the job, despite how young i was and with little experience but I was qualified. They said it wouldn't be a problem at all and there would be training. They tricked me and had me on the hook for 2 months thinking i would get this great job. Never again.
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.
