I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts (Telford, England) in Oct 2012
Interview
I didnt even enquire if there was jobs going, i just sent in a CV and cover letter on Friday. Monday got a phone call for interview. On Wednesday had interview with Front office manager and guest relations manager. Was told an end of interview i'd hear back in a week. Then 2 hours later got called to say i got the job.
Meet with managers, tour the hotel and meet with current employees, sharing your past educational experience or past experience in the service and hospitality industry. Second interview to review benefits and HR process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at IHG Hotels and Resorts (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Interview conducted by panel - overall experience was disappointing. The team stared at me and waited for the manager to ask questions then wrote things down and tried to act engaged. They were nice but did not have any questions which made me wonder what they were looking for - it was really that they were seeking the right personality more so than the right skills which I later learned.
