Gallery Host at Hyatt

No Offer – Interviewed in Texas (Philippines) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Mar 22, 2013

Interview Details I recently was interviewed for a position with this Company and Interviewed with the Head of the Hotel Operations. During this interview I was told that they would screen me for criminal record and driving record including contact of my references. I managed to get there interest after the interview and did receive a call back that they wanted to move forward and do my background by HireRight and as soon as I complete this they can call me back. I sent them my information so this can be done almost instantly and receive a confirmation shortly from HireRight that they have completed my background. Its now weeks into my background and still have received no call or email notfication letting me know the status. Keep in mind I have a clean record and great job history the only thing I had a problem with is my credit. I cannot contact this Hyatt location for status because they BLOCK out there phone number keeping it private I guess from their prospect employees. I have managed to reach HireRight to check the outcome of my background and was told that a Credit check was indeed requested from the company which I was never told during the initial interview or else I would have indicated this to the Hiring manager. I since now have move forward myself from this company and have received another job offer for similar position at the Marriott and start on Monday. I just wanted to let everyone know that is applying beware of the screening process of this Hotel.... They check Employment- All Dates and Salary, References, CREDIT CHECK (even though they dont mention this during the intital interview or isnt listed on their JOB Description) and Driving Record. Dont waste your time in applying for this Hotel not worth the troubles and stress, They should update their JOB descriptions indicating that you must have Perfect or Good Credit to even be Considered atleast this way you dont wasted our time and your Company Time!!!

Interview Question – Nothing was hard about the Interview very easy questions. They just need to be more open and honest with their requirements to get the job and not waste someone eleses time.   Answer Question

Position At Corporate Headquarters at Hyatt

No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL (US) – Reviewed Jan 30, 2013

Interview Details I have applied twice to two different positions at the Corporate Headquarters and had the same experience in both cases. My first time was in 2002. I had a phone interview first and then an in-person interview. After the interview I followed up with HR and the Hiring Manager several times, however they went totally silent. No e-mails or phone calls were replied and after a few weeks I just assumed that I didn't get the job.

10 years later I thought I'd give it another try. I applied for another position in mid 2012. I was contacted by the hiring manager (department head) and received an invitation for a phone interview. The interview went great and this time I thought I'm smarter and asked during the interview what the next steps are. I was told that I will definitely hear from them again and that there's great interest. But the exact the same thing as 10 years ago happened again and they went totally silent. Any follow-ups via e-mail and phone remain unanswered.

An interesting fact is that I received a call many weeks later from somebody I know who works there and asked if I can recommend someone for another open position that they’re desperately trying to fill. Unfortunately I couldn’t recommend anybody based on the recent interview experience, unless of course somebody is really in an urgent need for a job.

DOM at Hyatt

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Tokyo (Japan) Jan 2010 – Reviewed Dec 14, 2012

Interview Details Took very long, many interviews, with general manager, with other executive committee members and with HR. In-between interviews the interval was of up to a month at times, very slow despite their "urgent need". Presentations were required, and a hotel assessment (i.e. a one night stay as a "mystery guest") with a review of my observations the following day.

Interview Question – How would you raise levels of business in this particular property? numbers were expected.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – There wasn't any. They asked questions such as salary expectations which were irrelevant to the stiff, non-negotiable set of benefits and salary in place.
