Marriott Interview Questions and
Answers 100% Solved | Graded A+
Tell me about a time you had to work with a diverse group of people. - ✔✔
I've had to work with a diverse group of people several times throughout
my academic career, however, 1 time in particular stands out. I was in my
Intro to HR course and we were randomly divided into teams that we
essentially had to run a business with throughout the semester. I was
paired with an older blue collar male who had a very tunnel-vision type of
perspective, a young eager, first generation college student, and an
international student who spoke very broken english.
We had a difficult time getting the ball rolling because we each had very
different perspectives. So for the first few meetings we couldn't decide on
anything. Once we learned how to communicate with each other tho, we
were able to make decisions as a team. As a result we ended with the
highest grade in the class on the project.

, Why Marriott? - ✔✔I want to work for Marriott mainly because I strongly
associate with their core values. The concept of putting people first,
pursuing excellence, embracing change, acting with integrity, and serving
the world interest me a lot. Marriott's underlying mission is so much more
than just becoming the best travel company.
How did you become inspired to be in the Hospitality Industry? - ✔✔If I'm
being honest, working in hospitality was never my plan. Throughout college
I hoped to get a job working in HR at some large company. Then a global
pandemic hit and I was scheduled to graduate a year early and suddenly I
was a senior with very little work experience in the field of HR. So as you
can imagine, I struggled to find anything at the end of my senior year. So
when I got Marriott's summer internship, I was relieved to have something
but also a little bummed because it wasn't the HR position. Regardless I
went in with an open mind and absolutely loved it. I loved meeting new
people everyday, the ability to make a guest's day, the craziness of the
hotel, the cohesiveness of the different departments together, and most of
all the traveling and new experiences.
Name a time you failed and how you handled it. - ✔✔Throughout my
academic career, I had never stood out or done exceptionally well until my
last few years of college so graduating in the Departmental Honors
