Virtual interview first with director of events and associate director of events and then an in person interview at the hotel with the general manager, offer was made a few days later
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hyatt (Washington, DC) in Jun 2015
Interview
During the interview process I spoke with the Director of Events and multiple Event Managers and Event Sales managers. I was given a tour of the space and had the opportunity to see 1 or 2 events being set up and executed by the banquets team. I was also able to see rooms beeing set by the set up team.

Question 1
They wanted to know a time I had a difficult potential client who hadn't yet signed the contract and how I was able to turn the client around and land the piece of business.
Met with the Director of events and 2 associate directors, of catering and special events. Felt a great connection with all of them and learned more about the role and company. Was told they still had over interviews to conduct but that I would hear back from them within a week.

Question 1
How would you describe your organizational skills?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Hyatt
Interview
Interview was with the director of event and lasted about an hour. Very conversational and relaxed, but looking back on it I wish she had been more specific about her expectations. I was hired to sell event space but never got to see the spaces during the interview. That may have changed my mind about the job.
