final interview
i just got a call from one of the hotels in london.they're inviting me for a final interview.i have to give a 15 minute presentation of my favorite organization which i believe delivers exemplary customer service.
i'm going to present the hotel i worked before which really inspired me to continue my career in the hospitality industry.but i'm thinking wouldn't be awkward that i'm presenting my favorite hotel employer while i'm applying for a job with them?
i got to thinking that they also want to have ideas from my presentation...
hmmm...what do you guys think?

Wow, 15 mins presentation, that's a big ask imo
What job position is it for?
Anyways, I don't see anything wrong at all in drawing on your past experience.
In such presentations passion and honesty are key. They're looking for reasons to hire you instead of others. Nothing beats inspiration and motivation.
Go for it girl
Just my 2 centavos

thanks terpe
working hard to get that hr officer position.i think 15 minutes might not be enough since they also ask how they might also adopt them and how...anyway, i'm putting up 3 main reasons with 3 bullet points each...i'm not going to touch anything technical (finance or ceo stuff).
thanks for the 2 centavos!!!!

I wish you all good luck dizzy.
Be honest, be inspiring and be passionate.
But don't be too long.
I still feel 15 minutes is much too long, but you have to work with whatever you told to work with.
From my personal experience I never needed that long or that much information to make up my mind.
If they really demand 15 mins try to keep it 'punchy' all the way through but get that final 3 mins to include and emphasise the reasons why you and your ideas are irresistible for the position.

welcome to the forum dizzy!!
as far as I'm aware the hotel industry doesnt usually care about your past work experiences because they are working on their ''own'' brand standards, they are usually open to new ideas but it should be in line with the brands objectives and of course UK /European law.
good luck''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

yahoooo!! i got the job! hr manager told me the salary offer which is good. i asked her the other benefits and she asked in return what i want...hmmmm...i would have just said a lot of things but i told her what you're offering for this kind of job. well from a big hotel she should have sent me a job offer by email.
anyway, she told me the benefits blah blah blah...i requested for 3 days to think about it. she sounded a bit down. but hey! in my experience we send a job offer to the successful candidate to go through and for them to have a chance to ask questions and think it over.
hr manager sounded a bit surprised when i requested for the 3 days. she even asked if there are more interviews in line for me. i said yes and hope she understands. she does of course....but...i don't know...i just don't feel excited...just a jumble of feelings...

Not trying to be smart dizzy, but why didn't you ask those kind of questions at one of the interview stages?
They must has asked if you had any questions.
Just my thoughts .... no offence intended.
I'm very happy you have an job offer, and like others have said better to accept than refuse unless you were not too serious about this one

i wanted to ask during the final interview as i see it the right time to bring it up but since they told me they have to think about offering me the job or not i stopped myself...since i was sure they would be the ones to bring it up thus the job offer letter.that's how it goes with my past experience.once they do bring it up of course i'll ask about it.but she just said you got the job and here's you're salary. as a hr person myself it wasn't the way to do it...and what's wrong with asking about company benefits anyway? at least i didn't bring it up during my first interview which would give them the impression i'm only after their company benefits...read it in any hr websites...before rushing to say yes to the job, asking about company benefits is normal...
