Interviewed Jan 2012 in Goshen, IN (took a day)
I am still in the interview process but have had my first interview. Met with the current General Manager for the General Manager position. It was a very laid back interview. He was told to interview me by the Regional Vice President. In order to proceed, I have to complete online "tests" and will be contacted by the RVP if my results are what they are looking for.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Rogers, AR (took a day)
My initial contact was with the AGM. I was responding to a networking lead. I was given the business card for the sales manager. I made contact and received a phone interview the same day. I scheduled a personal interview the following day. This interview lasted a little over an hour. It involved both the GM and Sales Manager. They did most of the talking and outlined the expectations of the position and the work culture. I believe that this company has very high expectations for the DOS position, and that the work culture is very much like a family.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Whippany, NJ (took a day)
Was called in for an interview after filling out application on company website. Met with the Managers who were very nice, very comforting and easy to speak to. Right from the begining the salary would not work for me. I do repect this company and the management although we could not work something out. If you can work for a low salary than this would be a good foot in the door and I'm sure you will be happy with management there, I was very impressed.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I applied for this position online, which included a fairly long skills test, where you were asked mutiple choice questions pertaining to how you would handle customer service situations. I also called the location and asked about the position. The operations manager called me back the same day and did a short phone interview (one question; "Why do you want to work in the hospitality industry"). He then invited me for an interview the next day.
I interviewed the operations manager, who then went and talked to the General Manager of the location. The GM came out and did a more thorough and intensive interview. During the second half of the interview, the GM asked me to interview him. This was so that he could understand my interest in working for the Marriott culture as a whole. It seemed to me that the answers that they were most interested in were the ones where I could reveal my personality and ability to follow up and care about customers in a genuine way.
Overall, the experience was very positive, even though (as all interviews are to an extent) the process was nervewracking. Both the GM and the Operations Manager were very professional and friendly. After working here for close to a month, I find that the location is run very well and the staff are treated like a well functioning family. I enjoy working here. It is a perfect place for learning about the hospitality industry.

Interviewed May 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 5 weeks)
Interviewed on campus with a director and assistant director of finance from a local hotel. Mostly behavioral questions and scripted from a list. I asked them about their background and why those chose private over public accounting and agreed with their reasoning. Took about an hour. A week later, I got an email from HR saying I passed the first interview and had to take an hour long personality/management test. A week later I got an email from HR saying they were flying me to Denver, CO for final rounds interviews with the Area Director of Finance. We were placed in the City Centre hotel for 2 nights with all expenses paid (flight, room, meals) and the next morning we had an hour presentation on HR, culture and administrative responsibilities. Then all of us took turns with a panel interview with the Area Director and the Director of Finance of that particular hotel. Questions were behavioral, but way more intense. They grilled you for more details and it was scarier than the campus interview. Lasted about an hour and then I was flown back to CA, to receive and offer email a week later. What a pleasant surprise!
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Tried to negotiate the salary, but there is no pay difference for bachelors or masters degree. Pay also depends on region/location. HR threatened me saying it's supply and demand due to the recession and that if I try to negotiate, they have other candidates on the waitlist eager to take my position.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 4 days)
the day i came in for my interview i was given my application to fill out.my interview process and everthing with this company was rather different. i called the hotel after passing by and stopping in and saw how beautiful it was.then after i decided to give the hotel a call and let the general manger how wonderful the hotel was and how it would any at all possible to be apart of his team(this was via voicemail). two weeks later i was given a call to come in at 2pm that day to start the application process and recieved my first interview the same day.which went great. i was asked, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?, are you looking for advancement at all?, how do you deal with drama in the workplace?)which i felt was a little unprofessional). second interview, i was interviewed with what i consider to be a unplanned group interview with the general manager, front office manager and human resources which really re capped things from the first interview as far as the questions.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Racine, WI (took 4 days)
I applied online to the Marriott Hotel on a Monday and they contacted me on a Thursday to come in for an interview on the next day (Friday). As I met the guy to do the interview with me, he seemed like he already had a grudge against me. After we exchanged names and handshakes, he said that he had met me prior to the interview but would not tell me where or when or if it was positive or negative. From that point on, I figured I wouldn't get the job because everything with him was short like he wasn't planning on hiring me. I bragged to a friend that I was going to get the job there and this was their exact saying, "No, you are definitely NOT getting the job. They only hire Hispanics if it isn't a managerial position." After I heard that, I thought back to my interview and realized that what my friend said could most likely be true. As I was waiting for my interview, as I sat in the lobby, I saw maybe about 5 or 6 employees, of all whom were Hispanic. The interview was also only 5 minutes long. Another indication of me not getting the job. Another thing is that the guy that was interviewing me did NOT ask any questions at all. When have you ever been in an interview where they don't ask questions?
