Behavioral Presentation

First, there was a Skype interview, which took a while. After that, another interview with the department head followed. Then, I had to wait a long time for the offer letter. The whole process should really only take two weeks; no one wants to wait months for a job.

  • Can you tell me about your past achievements?

Behavioral Technical

This was a typical interview with standard industry questions. The interviewer was a bit late for the phone interview. If you know the hotel industry and have sales experience, it's pretty easy. It wasn't too long. This interview was for a franchise property, and the regional director from IHG interviewed me after I met with the property's GM. The regional director was the final decision-maker.
