Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Hilton to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Hilton
Always try and be the best version of yourself. Everything can be learnt and we are not expecting 'perfect' in Hilton. The passion is the main driver of success - show this to the recruiter! Also, very important tip I wish someone told me before starting - you can always do more than you think you can. Go in holding you head high and don't be afraid of the challenges - the more you face, the bigger you grow!
