I've name changed but last Monday I posted after my terrible interview at the Hilton hotel for housekeeper.
I don't know if anyone can remember
They asked me to make a bed in front of 5 staff and all slagged me off in front of me -and it was awful

Anyway
Just been offered a job as a receptionist at the Radisson blu hotel.
It's full time 37.5 hours and only 12 mins drive away from my house instead of 1 hour train ride away
I'm honestly so happy
I would much rather do this role as reception than housekeeping
All the people that said I would find something else -Thankyou ❤️

So pleased for you. A big 🖕 to those five who treated you like crap at the other interview for the housekeeping post.

You'll ace this new post as receptionist 💕

Well done! would think they’re probably a better company to work for….
You were going to interview at Hays Travel too weren’t you?

Woooo well done!

Sparrowball · 08/08/2024 18:49

You should do a Pretty Woman "big mistake" scene to the rude people in the other hotel once you're past any probation period.

Congratulations and well done! 🍾👏

SweetBirdsong · 08/08/2024 18:50

RagzRebooted · 08/08/2024 18:52

Congratulations!
Please write to Hilton head office and complain about the staff at your interview, that's horrible.
