I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Omni Hotels (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Applied online and was immediately contacted, though the process took forever.
I get that they were in desperate need of hiring, though HR over the phone was really unorganized and never heard back from her after one call. She just described how the property is a lovely place and asks if you've got what it takes to work in the HR. I wouldn't have felt so disappointed if she hadn't said that she was going to give me a call back (she never did). There's no way of reaching the HR since they are always busy.

Question 1
Why do you want to work in the hospitality industry?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Omni Hotels (Austin, TX) in Dec 2019
Interview
I went through 2 panel interviews: The first was with 2 recruiters. The second was with 3 HR team members.
I arrived 5 minutes early for the first interview and had to wait ~20 minutes to be brought in. They had me sit in a chair in the (uncomfortably cold) loading bay, where I felt very in the way. Employees had to squeeze past me with large boxes and carts of dirty linens.
For the second interview, I arrived on time and had to wait 10 minutes. After speaking with them, they left me in that hallway for another 5-10 minutes as they "made sure they didn't have any other questions for me." One team member came out and told me they would set up a call between the HR director and me. They never followed up on this, and a week later I received a copy-paste rejection email that wasn't even tailored to include my correct name.
I wish they would've shown more respect for my time and tried to create a more warm (figuratively and literally) and inviting candidate experience.

Question 1
Why do you want to work in the hospitality industry?
There are three rounds of interviews. First with Human Resources, Department Heads, and General Manager. Mostly behavioral questions asked. Once a conditional offer was given they sent a background check and complete references.
