Like any job in the hospitality industry, working for a hotel can sometimes be exhausting. The interviewer would like to know that you recognize this dynamic about the position and how Marriott can situate itself to retain you. This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss how you might empower and engage employees who might work under you. Be passionate about your ability to handle the many stressors this position may produce.

"I realize that there will be challenging days. For myself, words of encouragement motivate me. If you see me doing something right - even if it is small - tell me that you noticed. I don't need to run 100% smoothly every day, but I sure like to feel appreciated by my employer. This is also a way that I try to encourage and retain the employees I supervise, with lots of public praise."
