Application
I applied through other source. I interviewed at McNeill Hotel Company (Boise, ID) in May 2017.
Interview
My property was purchased and I was already the General Manager. They did a meet and greet with me to tell me about their company and what they had to offer. They reassured me that all my staff would be able to continue employment under their company. This meant the world to me, my team is what makes me a success in this industry and I did not have even one person I would not want to move forward with. They were organized and had someone to help show me the ropes of their new process.
Interview Questions
- They were most interested in what I like to do in my off time, what I love about my job and anything they could do to make my life easier. 1 Answer
