I'm actually not really sure whether to be sad about this or not - it was really the strangest job interview I have ever been on. It was essentially unpaid training and lots of testing (math testing, directions and knowledge of the city, role playing and skits). There were 7 people there vying for 2 jobs, and he told us he would let us know at the end of the night who he was hiring (talk about awkward).
Anyways, it was supposed to go from 5-9 at night, but he didn't arrive until 5:30 and I didn't get out of there until 11:20...then he called at 12:30AM to give his decision. I was apparently #3  I worked really hard in this interview and actually thought I out-performed most of the people there, but some of them had more education than me so I don't know if that might have something to do with it.
Anyways, now that I know more about it, I'm not sure it would have been the best job. It's a decent size hotel (not huge) yet after 5:00PM the person working the front-desk is all alone in the hotel. No bellstaff, housekeeping, managers...anything. Even working overnights, I would be the only employee in the hotel. I just didn't think that was very safe. He even said that if a customer needed something like their toilet plunged, we would have to go up and do it...and I thought to myself, so I'm going to leave the front-desk unattended late at night while I'm here alone, to potentially go up to some man's room and put myself in his bathroom? Just didn't seem overly safe. I'm fairly young and small and definately not strong and I would not feel comfortable with that.
So maybe it is for the best. Really hard to say for sure because I thought I really wanted it...but maybe if a hotel job is what I want I should be looking/applying at some of the bigger ones in the city (with 24 hour room service for example) so that I know I won't be the only person working.
