Behavioral Case

First, there was a phone screening to see if I was a good fit, basically asking about my background and interest. Then, I had an in-person interview that focused on customer service and how I managed teams, asking for specific examples from my hotel manager days. Lastly, I had a scenario-based interview where they gave me hypothetical situations and asked how I'd handle them, like dealing with tough customers or conflicts.

I filled out an application and didn't wait long for a response. A woman called and invited me for an interview the next week. The interview was brief and included a tour of the place.
