SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am a positive, confident and highly-organized hotel manager who enjoys not only the challenge of providing unrivalled customer service, but also motivating the team I am responsible for to deliver consistently high standards for our hotel guests. Hotel management is a role that requires resilience, determination and an ability to take ownership of often difficult and challenging situations Over the years, I have gained the necessary experience, knowledge and knowhow to perform highly within the role. If you hire me as your hotel manager, I can assure you I will always deliver outstanding customer service, I will get the most out of my team, and I will always ensure everyone within the hotel team acts as a positive role model for the hotel chain so that we encourage as much repeat custom as possible.”
Q2. What are the most important skills and qualities needed within hotel management?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“There are nine very important skills and qualities needed to be an effective hotel manager. You need, first and foremost HIGH STANDARDS. You must always act as a POSITIVE ROLE model for the hotel, as the other members of staff must see you taking the lead and showing them the way with regard to high levels of CUSTOMER SERVICE. You must be extremely well ORGANIZED, be able to PLAN AHEAD and foresee problems, RESPOND QUICKLY TO PROBLEMS, whilst at all times being a string MOTIVATOR and FACILITATOR. Finally, you have to have a high degree of COMMERCIAL AWARENESS and always have your eye on the performance of the hotel to make it is profitable and sustainable. Of course, there are other essential skills and qualities needed within hotel management; however, those are the ones I feel are most important.”

5 TIPS FOR PASSING A HOTEL MANAGEMENT INTERVIEW
TIP #1 – The role of a hotel manager is both difficult and challenging, and you will need a unique set of skills and qualities to meet the demands of the role. Prior to attending your hotel management interview, draw up a list of the qualities and experience you already possess that will enable you to perform the role to the high standards expected.
TIP #2 – During your hotel manager interview, you will be asked three different types of questions: research, motivational and behavioral. When answering the behavioural interview questions, we strongly recommend you use the STAR technique to structure your responses This is a proven method for giving top-rated answers to situational type interview questions.
TIP #3 – Before you attend your hotel management interview, think carefully about interview technique and body language. Remember, the standards you portray and how you communicate at the interview will be indicative of how you are likely to perform as their hotel manager.
TIP #4 – Undoubtedly, the best way to prepare for a hotel management interview is to create answers to all of the 21 interview questions listed on this page. Whilst it is highly unlikely you will get asked all of the questions at the interview, if you do prepare answers for all of them, you will have the confidence to perform well and, more importantly, come across as the standout candidate!
TIP #5 – At the end of your hotel management interview, you will have the opportunity to ask the panel some questions. Make sure you DO actually ask them some questions, as this will show you are enthusiastic, you want to know more about their hotel, and also that you are keen to get started in the role as soon as possible.
