I had two interviews, and I had to wait about 45 minutes for each one. So don't expect to be done quickly. The first interview was longer, focusing on my history with the company and what makes me unique. I talked about how much I love the Ritz-Carlton and Marriott and how I'd love to build a career there. I even prepared by learning the company credo beforehand. The second interview was super short, maybe 20 seconds. The interviewer asked who had interviewed me and a couple of the same questions as before, and then they offered me the job.
