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

Reservations Agent at Hilton Worldwide

Interview Question – No difficult questions but the phone line was so disturbed it made the whole experience very frustrating.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – They offered about 450€ to work 10 hours/day!

Revenue Manager at Hilton Worldwide

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 30, 2013

Interview Details I applied online and approximately 2 weeks later I had received an e-mail asking me to complete an online video "interview." I had 3 days to complete this. I discovered I wouldn't be speaking with a Hilton representative or anyone else for that matter; I had to record myself reading and answering 14 questions. A few days later I received an e-mail stating I had moved onto the next round: a short telephone interview. At the end of that interview, I was told I would interview with the "hiring manager" over the telephone and that it would be a situational interview. That interview occurred exactly 1 week later and involved 3 different people. It lasted for approximately 30 minutes. Later that day, I received a phone call stating I had made it through to the fourth and final round: a writing sample. I had to take a position on a business issue and argue my point of view. I received a call approximately 3 business days later with a job offer. In total, the process took less than 1 month and was straightforward. Everyone I spoke with was nice and helpful.

Interview Question – The situational interview will be almost impossible unless you have significant knowledge of hotel revenue management (ie. taken a few courses on it or have years of experience)   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There was no salary negotiation. I was asked during the first telephone interview what I thought the position paid and was told it was higher than what I thought. The offer was a pleasant surprise.

At Home Service Agent at Hilton Worldwide

No Offer – Interviewed in Carrollton, TX (US) Dec 2012 – Reviewed Apr 05, 2013

Interview Details I followed with every step of the hiring process for an at-home customer service agent. I filled out the online test, created a special CD to access Hilton Worldwide hotel systems test and passed. I also had a phone interview with the HR hiring manager in Carrollton, Texas. All went well before the end of the year 2012. After one week of the verbal interview, what I was very careful in speaking on the telephone with clear and precise English, I was denied of the job without any reason.
