I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Britannia Hotels (Bournemouth, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
One stage interview, show confidence and that you show good communication skills. Make sure you're dressed up smart on the day for interview as first impressions matter a lot more than you realise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My experience in other fields of work so that they can see how that transferable that could be in working at the bar. Apart from that was a very informal and relaxed interview as they just want to get to know you to see if you would be a good fit for the job
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Britannia Hotels
Interview
The interview itself was easy enough, standard questions about job and relative experience. My interview was over 1 hour long and I was given a brief tour of the events spaces. Despite being pleasant to be interviewed by, the manager picked the worst location possible to hold the interview - a room that was being used as a corridor by all staff, so 10+ people walked in and out of the room throughout the interview which immediately gave me a bad impression. It had been hard to schedule the interview because of a lack of response from the manager and during my interview, they told me they rescheduled a meeting simply because they couldn't be bothered to do it that day. The interview went well and the manager commented multiple times on how pleased they were with my answers and relative experience, I was verbally invited to the second round of the interview process and was told I would be contacted with the exact date. I never heard back from the manager or team which I thought was unprofessional considering I had been invited to the next round of interviews and had given an hour of my time to take part in the initial interview, as well as trekking to the venue in the middle of nowhere. Overall, my impression of the hotel and workplace was that it was unorganised, disjointed and that the staff didn't really want to be there, so I think I have dodged a bullet.
