I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Hilton in Mar 2012
Interview
Great people to work with. The HR staff was very friendly and made sure you got an entire tour of the hotel during the hiring process. The particular questions were straight forward and more along the lines of asking "can you do physical work? You'll learn it all soon enough"
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hilton (SeaTac, WA) in Jul 2014
Interview
The interview was very pleasant. The pretty much just want to make sure you're the right candidate for the position by drilling you on your work history or getting deatails about your references.
