Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The phone interview well fairly well. It resulted in an one on one interview. The questions presented to me were unorganized, probably not from an established set of inquiries, and my answers were not documented. I recieved no feedback from the process whatsoever, though I did send an after interview email.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
First I had to complete an online test to make sure I knew how to handle guests. I passed that test and was brought in for a 1:1 interview with the front desk manger. I was asked more detailed questions about how I have handled upset guests in the past. When you are asked these questions be as specific as possible about how you resolved the guest issue. You are graded on how you answer the question. After I spoke with the front office manager I met the assistant general manager and was asked how I handle down-time while working overnight.

Reason for Declining
The pay was below average for the area even with beneifits. I was told that most employees save their vacation time for when they are not able to get 40 hours. Why work in a hotel if you can't get time off to travel?

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I first came into contact with a representative from Hewitt. He asked me to complete an evaluation he sent over in email with hyperlink. After that I had a phone interview with that same Hewitt representative. He later referred me to the hotel from there on in had 3 more interviews. It was my first interview process for a managerial job. I nonetheless received an offer and accepted. Management at this particular hotel were very kind and knowledgeable. They made the interview process very easy and welcoming.

When going in for interviews I am always myself. I don't like to pretend. My advice to anyone looking to work for Marriott is just be yourself and smile and you'll do just fine.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
Interviewed for two Director positions. The first step is a basic phone interview with HR with basic questions on your background (i.e. walk me through your resume), why Marriott, availability, and salary requirements. Next step was 1-1 interviews with the number of interviews varying based on the group. For the first position, I only met with HR (typical behavioral interview) and the hiring VP (mixed behavioral and functional/experience questions). For the second position, I seemingly interviewed with the entire group having met with 9 people from Directors to VP's and a rep from HR. Interviews were mostly behavioral and the process seemed a bit unorganized as most of the interviewers asked the same questions. There was also a 2nd round of interviews for those who passed through. Having 10 interviews in the 1st round in a single day seemed to be unnecessary.

Get an e-mail first about completing an evaluation test online. Then I had my one on one interview which was mainly behavioral interview questions that lasted about one hour. They judge based on the results of the evaluation test, interview, and your resume.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
The first week of March I applied for the front desk position and received a call from the HR manager to come in for an interview on the 15th. She stated that I would be meeting with her and the Hotel Manager. At the interview, I met with the HR Manager first. The first question, or statement was, " so, tell me about yourself,'' and I told her my story. She also asked me if she were to call my manager, what were some of the qualities that he would mention about me. We discussed the hours and my flexibility in schedule, and also asked me what I would look for in an employee if I were to do the hiring.
Then I met with the Hotel Manager. He basically asked the same things, but added on some examples of my best and worst times working as a front desk agent.
I thought the first interview went well, but was worried because I didn't receive a call back. HR called back in approx. 10 days to schedule me for a second interview with the front desk supervisor. She was more reserved and asked the same questions, and added on a question about teamwork.
Overall, it was a really good interview. I haven't received a call back yet. I did call to see if the position had been filled, but the HR manager was out of town at the time, They still have not returned my call yet, and it's been about a week. So I'm hoping they are still deliberating :)

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
I arrived at the Marriott World Center and parked in the self parking garage. If you do not know where human resources is it will take you a long time to find. I made it to human resources office and the woman interviewing me was 15 mins late. When she finally came we walked to her office on the other side of the hotel and had a one on one interview. She did most of the talking, which was nice. During the interview two of her supervisors came in to meet me and listen to me answer questions. Mainly about prior work experiences. She said she'd like to offer me the job, walked me back to human resources and had me fill out paper work. I was told to take my drug test within 24 hours and that I'd get an email by Friday (it was Tuesday) saying where to go for training. I start Monday! It is a seasonal position, but she pretty much told me I could stay with Marriott as long as I wanted, as long as I'm flexible and would move around.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 3 weeks)
contacted by recruiter, scheduled some tests, then a phone screen. I was invited to an interview, the HR Coordinator confused me for another candidate when inquiring about my availability. it was a panel interview, they made an effort to make it a bit relaxing, and take the edge off. Overall just not a match for either side, went internal, got decline email 2 days later. good interview nonetheless, good trial run for me.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The interview lasted about an hour, and it was very easy going. However, none of the typical behavioral questions came up. Almost every question was situational, e.g., "tell me about a time when..." so all the preparation didn't help. Just be confident with your knowledge and experience. Despite the questions, the interviewer was very friendly and it really just felt like a conversation.
