I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Marriott International (London, England) in Mar 2014
Interview
Overall it was a good experience, the whole process went smoothly. I met with three interviewers: HR manager, Line manager and General manager. After the initial interview I was invited for a day trial, which was paid. After that I was informed that I was successful and they offered me the job over the phone. On my first day of work I signed the contract. They also required two references from my past employers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioural interview - they asked about how I performed in the past, in stressful situations, problem solving, communication etc.
Il y a eu plusieurs étapes, on rencontre la RH en premier, premier contact par téléphone puis un entretien visio. Ensuite ils rappellent pour un entretien en présentiel, où on rencontre à nouveau la RH, puis le chef de réception, puis un autre responsable. Ça peut paraître impressionnant au début, et surtout pour un poste de réceptionniste.

Question 1
On parlait en français au début, et puis tout d’un coup, le chef de réception a basculé en anglais. Il m’avait demandé de décrire quelques missions que j’ai aimé effectuer dans mon précédent emploi en anglais. J’avoue que j’ai eu un petit moment de panique, les mots se mélangeaient dans ma tête. Mais ensuite tout s’est bien passé.
I interviewed at Marriott International (Palmdale, CA)
Interview
They asked questions about why you’re interested in the position. Where you see yourself in 5 years with the company, and they will ask about your computer skills so be prepared. The employee who interviewed me was nice, but come prepared for any questions, about yourself, the position/company, and different scenarios
I interviewed at Marriott International (London, England)
Interview
With 2 managers asking questions. It was quite easy . Typical questions about experience and what can you bring to the table. They will ask what do you know about Marriott
