Preparation before a job interview is always important. Go into your next interview with confidence by following these 3 helpful tips.
Prospective employers typically have two goals in an employment interview-to ensure that you possess the necessary skills for the position, and to verify that you are a culture fit. Acing these two elements requires preparation, but it is possible.

I have been working at The Mark Travel Corporation full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The chain of management in my team is awesome, all the way to the top. There's so much communication, dedication, support, and appreciation. No one is ever too busy (yes, everyone's busy) to take time to answer questions, have a teachable moment, address an issue, or share gratitude. As one who thrives in a positive environment, The Mark Travel Corporation (TMTC) is my place. My opinion, my voice, my work, and my wellness is valued. We have so many wonderful programs around team member wellness that I look forward to and actively participate in. Management supports me in my innovations and my desire for growth. If you walk into TMTC with a positive attitude, ready for engagement, and can embrace change, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Our core values aren't just words. They're the directions we live by. Be well, work well, live well.
Cons
The company expects a lot from team members? I love staying engaged and progressive at work so I guess that's an upside for me, but I could see where it might be too much for others. If you want to work for the best, you must perform at your best.
Advice to Management
Team members are bursting with innovative ideas! Sometimes they're all set and ready to go but the projects halt at the finish line due to final management approvals. Let's keep embracing change and get these great innovations into fruition!
Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at The Mark Travel Corporation.
Interview
There was a preliminary phone screening and then we set up an in person interview with the Regional Director. After this interview was done I received a phone call a few days later to set up a phone interview with regional supervisor. Following this call, I was sent an email with a KOLBE questionnaire to complete. My last two interviews were via Skype with the VP and the head of HR. I did create and email a 30-60-90 day plan to the final 2 interviewers - although it was not 100% necessary. Each phone interview lasted about 30 mins and the in person were approximately 45 mins to an hour. After the official interview process was completed, I filled in and returned details for a full background check going back 8 years in employment. The whole process took about 2 months.
