Interview
When I went for the housekeeping interview, it was pretty straightforward. The manager started by asking about my previous experience in cleaning and maintaining rooms, which I was confident answering because I’ve done similar work before. They wanted to know how I prioritize tasks when things get busy and how I handle situations like a guest complaint or an unexpected mess. They also asked about my attention to detail, like how I ensure everything is spotless and in place. I wasn’t asked to do a trial cleaning, but they explained the expectations clearly, like which cleaning supplies are used and the standards they follow. The whole process took about 20 minutes, and they gave me a chance to ask questions at the end, which made me feel comfortable. Overall, it felt like a good conversation, and they told me I’d hear back in a few days.

They value people being real and having a good sense of humor got me a long ways. Patience and flexibility are a must as it's still an expanding company. Definitely do your research on the history of the company and the owner
