1st stage a video call and 2nd stage was face to face in the actual Kit Kemp hotel shop. When asked about previous staff experiences/ways of working they gave vague answers. Also untrustworthy job description, it was advertised as "assistant" however expect Supervisor duties. Lack of follow up after the final stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach the sale based on your experience and the brand values
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Firmdale Hotels (London, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
A friendly chat with the F&B manager and the Bar manager was followed by creating some classic cocktails. It`s important to have the drinks right but also the interaction. If you tell them a fun story while making the drinks you get in. After the interview I was sent to the head office to have a chat with the HR department- that was a sort of personality test. I received the job offer a few hours later.

Interview
Perfect although it did not happen they were very respectful and informed me why the situation had occurred. It made me feel better. I was also told I could potentially be contacted if the others fell through. They did not, but it was a good experience none the less as i didn't want any to fall through anyways.
