I reached out to the GM and market HR Director before applying. The Marriott recruiter asked about my visa status and the specific type I held. She also mentioned the position requires a bachelor's degree, which seemed contradictory since I know people in their EC committee without one.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- The recruiter pointed out that I do not have a Bachelor's Degree and asked me why.
- I asked for confirmation if it was truly needed considering most hotel companies, including Marriott will consider extensive experience vs strong educational background.

The interview process for the internship at Mandapa was pretty good. I went through a few interviews, and everyone was super nice and professional. They looked at my skills and how I'd fit in with the team, which was cool. It was like a regular internship interview, and it felt really welcoming and supportive.
