The online interview
This interview lasts 20 minutes and we will ask you to turn on your webcam.
The analytical and quantitative aptitude test
This test is composed of 3 different exams in order to evaluate your leadership, interpersonal skills, analytical reasoning and motivation
Step 6 - Attend a Motivation Day
If you pass the online evaluation, you will be invited to take part in a motivation day. The motivation day is an opportunity for us to examine your interests and abilities in much greater depth.
The interview
The interview is not a test of your knowledge, and you will not be quizzed on specific facts. The aim is to assess your motivation, your potential and your suitability for the demands of the hospitality industry. We will ask you to tell us about your experience and your expectations. Our questions will focus, for example, on any summer jobs you may have had in the hospitality industry, your extracurricular activities and your international exposure.
Preparing for your motivation day
No specific preparation is needed. However, to make sure you are choosing the right career, you should find out as much as you can about the hospitality industry, the career opportunities it offers and the training options available in our international hospitality management degree program.
