    You apply online, take an online assessment, get an offer for a phone interview, get an offer for an in-person interview, observe someone working, fill in a survey to find out if you would be fit, then get an offer for the position. I think you also have to do a drug test, but I can't remember.

Most shifts are in the evenings until 1:00 am back to back calls.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Marriott International.

      Interview

      I emailed back and forth with the HR rep a few times going over my schedule and when I would be available to come in for an interview. They were EXTREMELY accommodating with finding a time that worked for me. I went in for my interview and was seen by the girl I was emailing with. She asked a bunch of questions about my past experiences and why I want to work for the company. She then told me she wanted me to talk with the general manager of the hotel so I went to his office. He asked similar questions. I then went and talked with the head of the front desk. He was super relaxed and tried to ask questions he thought I wouldn't have already been asked. The entire process of being interviewed by the three of them took maybe a little over an hour. I got the call I got the job about 4-5 hours after I interviewed.

      Interview

      As every interview goes, you show up and they make you wait for them to come get you. I sat in a conference room with one of the managers. She had an interview packet and asked me questions from there and wrote down everything I said. She thanked me and sent me back to the front desk. There I was told to wait again where later they told me I was hired.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Marriott International (San Antonio, TX) in March 2013.

      Interview

      I applied for the position online. Two days later I received a call from a recruiter who did a brief interview over the phone, tell me about your last job, availaility, etc. Nothing too difficult.
      She scheduled me for a face to face interview for the following week. Upon arriving, the interviewer had me sit with a current reservations rep and listen to her phone calls to see if that was something I would be interested in doing then we would proceed with the interview.
      The interview itself took about an hour. The recruiter was very nice and friendly and easy to talk to. She went over each of my jobs and then wanted me to into a little more detail about my responsibilities there. There were a lot of "tell me about a time" questions, like 7 or 8 of them. In the end she thanked me for my time and said they would be making their decisions and returning calls by the end of the week. I received a phone call the next day in which they offered me the job.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Marriott International (Solon, OH) in December 2015.

      Interview

      It was fairly simple. Three questions and they do call your references. Waiting for a call back was tedious. You get hands on at the beginning. And them they take you on a one on one. The guy was nice and made things comfortable. He kinda snared the questions for me.

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Marriott International (Solon, OH) in May 2015.

      Interview

      I applied online Friday morning and received a message from a recruiter that same night requesting I call back to discuss the position. I called back the next day, recruiter explained the position and asked if I was still interested. This particular reservation clerk position is intended to eventually be a work from home position. Must be very flexible with scheduling. My interview is scheduled for Tuesday. Training is scheduled to start that following Thursday, so I'm assuming if I qualify, they will offer me the job the same day. Looking forward to the interview.
