Front Desk Clerk at Marriott

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX Jun 2013 – Reviewed Jun 12, 2013 New

Interview Details – I applied online, which was a pretty extensive application that took 30 minutes or so to complete. Got a call about 2 weeks later and set up a face-to-face interview. They were having a job fair, so even though I had a scheduled interview time, I had to wait for about 30 minutes. I first met with the HR person where we briefly went over my resume. Next, I met with a manager, which probably only lasted for 15 minutes or so. They didn't ask any situational questions which surprised me.

Interview Questions

  • If we got three or four of your friends to describe you, what would they say about you?   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – I got a job offer in another field, where I felt more comfortable.

No Offer – Interviewed in Boca Raton, FL Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 18, 2013

Interview Details – I submitted an application online and was called within a few days to set up an interview in person. The interview lasted about 20 minutes and I was interviewed by both the front desk manager and the human resources manager. I recieved an e-mail about a week later saying I had not been offered the position. I received a call about a month and half later asking if I was still interested in the position, but my plans had changed by then.

Front Desk Agent at Marriott

No Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY May 2010 – Reviewed May 9, 2013

Interview Details – I filled out an application online. It took about 40 minutes to complete. They require a lot of information. I got a call back in 2 days, and briefly spoke to one of the Hotel managers. She asked me a few questions about my work history, and then invited me the next day for a face to face interview. I arrived the next day in business attire ( I tried to look the part of the front desk agent.) I sat down with the same lady that I spoke to on the phone. She was friendly, and asked a few more job scenario questions. She then told me, I will need to interview with all of the managers to get hired. Next sat down, a male manager who ranked slightly above the first woman. He asked me very similiar questions about my job and residential history, and asked me why I think he should hire me, and how I would fit in with the Marriott brand. Afterwards, he thanked me and we scheduled one more interview with the other managers for later in the week. Those interviews were very similar, and I feel like they are checking you out from the moment you walk into the hotel. I thought the interview went well, but I didn't get the job. A good interview experience though. There are other hotels in the world.

Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you helped a co worker without them knowing.   Answer Question
