Interview
Initial interview via phone by the recruitment center... an off-premise entity. They inquired about mostly about work history and a little getting-to-know-you. Call was very brief. Second interview was with department head via phone (was seeking this job from out of state). Very conversational - again, learning about work history, management style, the property, outlets, etc. Third and final interview was via Skype with department head and hotel manager.

Interview
Typically with corporate hotels, most postings are required to be open for one to two weeks minimum at which point it's removed. I applied online and heard from the recruitment center about ten days later. Initial interview with the HR recruiter asked standard hotel and management related questions. After speaking with HR, my application was forwarded to the department manager and the assistant director. I had an interview with each, where they asked both interview-type questions... very easy, conversational and comfortable. I then interviewed with the F&B Director and Assistant director, followed by the hotel manager (which is fairly uncharacteristic, but a strategy this property utilizes). Each interview was great and the formality diminished as I spoke to managers "higher up the chain." Everyone was professional, fun, upbeat, excited about their jobs and asked questions I felt to be relevant and truly important rather than basic and impractical.
