I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hyatt (Washington, DC) in Jun 2015
Interview
During the interview process I spoke with the Director of Events and multiple Event Managers and Event Sales managers. I was given a tour of the space and had the opportunity to see 1 or 2 events being set up and executed by the banquets team. I was also able to see rooms beeing set by the set up team.

Question 1
They wanted to know a time I had a difficult potential client who hadn't yet signed the contract and how I was able to turn the client around and land the piece of business.
Virtual interview first with director of events and associate director of events and then an in person interview at the hotel with the general manager, offer was made a few days later
Met with the Director of events and 2 associate directors, of catering and special events. Felt a great connection with all of them and learned more about the role and company. Was told they still had over interviews to conduct but that I would hear back from them within a week.

How would you describe your organizational skills?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Hyatt
Interview
Interview was with the director of event and lasted about an hour. Very conversational and relaxed, but looking back on it I wish she had been more specific about her expectations. I was hired to sell event space but never got to see the spaces during the interview. That may have changed my mind about the job.
