Waitress at Hilton Worldwide
No Offer – Interviewed in Aberdeen, Scotland Oct 2010 – Reviewed Aug 02, 2012
Interview Details I enjoyed the interviewing process which also contained a training part, everybody was friendly and easy-going. However, the details are still confidential, but I am sure that most of people would enjoy it as much as I did.
Interview Question – The most difficult for me was a task aimed at checking the dexterity in handling the cutlery, but I was not expected to be perfect at it from that moment and I received more then enough help throughout my training. Answer Question

Interview Details
I've already worked in that hotel as a housekeeper, but I wanted to a better job what can fit me better. So I went for the HR and she offered me to find the Restaurant Manager and he can interview me one on one.
On the interview I was asked about my past experiences and than about my future plans. Why I wanna be a waiter? Whats are my personal goals? After that he asked me a few question about the costumer service and problem shooting. For example what would I do if one of the guest find a hair in her dinner? How can I co-operate with other workers from the team?
Interview Question – What would you do if a costumer start to yelling with you about the service? Answer Question

Interview Details
Group interview is quite difficult when facing other applicants for the job. I beleive that if at the first place you try to involves each members from the group it will show managing skills.
Do it as soon as the group questions is asked. It will be more powerful.

Barista Server at Hilton Worldwide
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in May 2013 – Reviewed May 18, 2013 New
Interview Details I applied online about 2 weeks before. I received a call from the HR woman on Friday and scheduled an interview for Monday. On Monday I interviewed with her, the Food & Beverage Manager, and finally the Director of Operations and they were all awesome! The next day I was called again to interview with the General Manager and I received his blessing to be hired. From there was the drug test and paperwork. Just be yourself, be honest, and smile!
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you had to teach someone how to use the equipment on the job. How was that experience? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was really no negotiation 9.00 with a .50 raise after 3 or 6 months, I forget. But it is more than I was making at my other job so plus.

Senior Manager at Hilton Worldwide
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in McLean, VA (US) Jan 2013 – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New
Interview Details Please if you are reading this, take my advice and run away. If you dont, it wont take you long to see why.
Interview Question – Nobody has any knowledge of information security here that you will interview with, so read about Unix flavors and incident response plans from 2001 to be prepared. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They rely heavily on bonus compensation that is basically controlled by your direct report. The structure is very weak and will largely depend on how much ass you kiss.

Revenue Coordinator at Hilton Worldwide
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Addison, TX (US) Jul 2012 – Reviewed May 08, 2013
Interview Details The first part is a phone interview with the recruiter. They will ask about your background, goals, and a few very general questions. The next part consists of a writing sample. The writing sample is timed and is due 1 hour from the time you start. This allows you to showcase your persuasive and analytical skills. The final part is a behavioral interview. It lasted about an hour and it seemed like they asked every question you could possibly think of. Make sure you are prepared and have answers ready.
Interview Question – What risks have you taken in your career and how did that affect your long term goals? Have you disagreed with past managers and how did you resolve your problems? Answer Question
