I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Starwood Hotels & Resorts (Portland, OR)
Interview
Structured behavioral interview, there was a time to speak freely at the end but otherwise it was a bunch of “tell me about a time when”. Wish I had gone in with a list of stories to tell.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer
Applied and was called for interview with hiring manager and HR. Called back for interview with hotel manager then general manager. process took two weeks to finish and month until i started.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Interview
I believe as most companies do, HR will pull applicants that are referrals above any other applicant. So it would be a good idea to get to know someone who works for the company. Once you get in, HR will do a simply pre-screening interview. The next interview will be with the HR manager, then if you're invited back, it will be with the department head.

Question 1
They will ask behavioral type questions; the ones that typically start with the phrase, "Tell me about a time..." They will range from tasks/goals you've accomplished to dealing with difficult guests/associates.
