I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Island Hospitality in Apr 2026
Interview
Very friendly, yet very specific based on the role. The interviewer made it easy to give honest answers. I was impressed with the requests for specific details. It made me feel as if they knew what kind of candidate they were looking for and would not settle for less.

Question 1
What actions would you take to improve satisfaction scores.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Island Hospitality (Herndon, VA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Interview was great, there were several thought provoking questions that gave me an opportunity to share my expertise, wisdom and knowledge. Interviewer was, in my opinion, not dressed professionally, however; wearing a hoodie. They did not introduce themselves hospitably, or give a warm welcome; we dove right in to interview questions where the entire process was maybe 15 minutes. The only question that didn't seem to sit well with the interviewer was that I may not be available on Sundays, for religious obligations, but would not mind accommodating if needed. 13 minutes after the interview I received an email that stated "after careful consideration" I was rejected for the position.
