I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Whitbread (London, England)
Interview
Extremely disorganized especially for an open recruitment day where:
- there was no signage present or a proper sign in sheet only an excel sheet where the person didn't seem to know how to navigate the basics such as control F or sort by dates
- no printed application forms, only blank sheets of printer paper and told to write a few items like contact information
- extremely unprofessional housekeeper, she was rude, aggressive
told to follow a housekeeper for a trial, she was not helpful at all and was not able to communicate in any basic level of English for any direction with an angry tone. Without a smidge of proper direction, I felt that the trial was setup for failure by the miserable team there. And it absolutely did not help that she was using pillow cases to clean the excrement covered toilets and the same sink towel to dry the coffee and water cups next to the TV.
