I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marriott International (Parsippany, NJ) in Apr 2011
Interview
I applied for this job online. I heard back in roughly 3 days. They brought me in for an interview with the assistant general manager. After talking with her for about 20 minutes the general manager came in to interview me as well. She basically told me I got the job on the spot pending the results of a drug test. The questions were general interview questions. About a week after I took the drug test they called to give me a start date.

One in-person interview after application was submitted. The interviewers are likely going to be the Front Desk Manager along with an HR / Recruiting person. The interview should last anywhere from 20 - 30 minutes. Two tips would be to have a friendly demeanor and speak clearly.
