Behavioral Case Presentation

It starts with HR screening, then you get a business case analyzing a destination and a property. You need to present this case in the next interview with the hiring manager. If they like you, the next interview is with the hiring manager and Area manager.

So the interview process had a total of 4 rounds. It started with the recruiter, then the hiring manager, and then I had interviews with some of the local account managers. After the last interview, they told me there'd be a delay in their response about the offer, which I was fine with. But then, a month later, the recruiter said it was still taking time, and another month passed. Now the recruiter has basically ghosted me. It's super unprofessional and rude, especially considering how much time I put into the interview process.

Behavioral Case Presentation

It was a three-part interview process. The first was a 30-minute video call with a recruiter to get acquainted and see if I was a good fit for the job. The second was a 60-minute video call with my future manager and another team member, involving a short personal introduction and a Q&A session. The final step was a 60-minute video call with the hiring manager and a regional manager, which included a business case discussion, a role-playing exercise, and more questions.
