I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ritz-Carlton (Laguna Niguel, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Went to three interviews in total. First was with immediate manager for the position, then the manager above him, and then with HR. Once I got to the HR point I just had to sign the hire papers, do a swab test, and get fitted for uniforms. Everyone was very friendly, and if you have done hospitality before then you should be able to answer the interview questions with no problem.
