Position At Corporate Headquarters at Hyatt

No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL – Reviewed Jan 30, 2013

Interview Details – I have applied twice to two different positions at the Corporate Headquarters and had the same experience in both cases. My first time was in 2002. I had a phone interview first and then an in-person interview. After the interview I followed up with HR and the Hiring Manager several times, however they went totally silent. No e-mails or phone calls were replied and after a few weeks I just assumed that I didn't get the job.

10 years later I thought I'd give it another try. I applied for another position in mid 2012. I was contacted by the hiring manager (department head) and received an invitation for a phone interview. The interview went great and this time I thought I'm smarter and asked during the interview what the next steps are. I was told that I will definitely hear from them again and that there's great interest. But the exact the same thing as 10 years ago happened again and they went totally silent. Any follow-ups via e-mail and phone remain unanswered.

An interesting fact is that I received a call many weeks later from somebody I know who works there and asked if I can recommend someone for another open position that they’re desperately trying to fill. Unfortunately I couldn’t recommend anybody based on the recent interview experience, unless of course somebody is really in an urgent need for a job.

Graphic Designer at Hyatt

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Jan 2012 – Reviewed Dec 4, 2012

Interview Details – I traveled to Chicago for the interviewing process, so they put all of my interviews in one day. I went from room to room to meet with 5 different individuals. The process would have been better completed in a group setting. All asked the same questions, and I was not given any breaks between the interviews.

I knew I was getting an offer from them, but I had to continually follow up with the HR representative to find out where they were in the process. Same thing for the offer, I made over 10 phone calls to get them moving.

Interview Question – None   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – They did not negotiate much.

Night Auditor at Hyatt

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Huntington Beach, CA May 2012 – Reviewed Jun 2, 2012

Interview Details – I first got the call for am invitation for an interview. I arrived early, filled out a background consent form and was lead to a ballroom where other interviews were taking place. I first met with an HR representative who asked general questions. He passed me on to interview with the Front Office Managers. It was two gentlemen. They explained more in depth what the position entailed and their expectations of the person chose for the position. Interviewing with these two was the most relaxed interview I've ever had. They were comfortable, warm, hospitable and was like having a conversation with my friends. They passed me along to the Executive of rooms which was my last interview. I was initially intimidated and a little nervous because I knew this was it. He basically gave me scenarios as to the types of situations I would be deal with and wanted to know how I would handle them. When we were done, he told me an HR representative will show me out. She came over and said that they all loved me and that they would like to offer a Position pending my background. Background took less than a week. All references and former employers were called. I accepted the position.
