The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts in Oct 2009
Interview
All he did was call me and ask to come in, I came in expecting an interview, but instead he just asked me a few questions about my availability and gave me my tax forms to fill out. I think they were really desperate for people.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts in Aug 2009
Interview
The interviewer went through a list of questions, which is similar to the questionaire I answered when applied online. She didn't seem interested in listening but taking note. The interview seemed impersonal to me
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts in Mar 2008
Interview
I was contacted by the division manager for a phone interview. It went on for 30 minutes. Then I was conveyed through mail about my 1:1 interview which was conducted after 5 days. It was a panel of 5 mainly managers. It seemed they had distributed topics among them. One was consistent on my previous skills. Other was more tilting towards my peoples skills. One of them gave me a situation based problem where I had to give an answer which would satisfy them (which is usually not the case!). Overall interview environment was light. Being of the same field I was able to answer most of their business related questions but was not able to satisfy on analytical skills.
