Thanks! Yeh, I'm looking forward to the winter season! Erm, the girls hair was a mixture of both really - whatever you feel suits the occasion best; whatever would make you feel most comfortable I guess.
Info about the companies can generally be found on their websites in "About" sections... and possibly the use of Google - As I mentioned, this is something I didn't do... Also look into Hotelplan; their parent company - knowledge seems to impress them and get some boxes ticked :)
What job have you got the interview for? This can alter how you should tailor your presentation, and without knowing this, I can't offer any suggestions. However, use what I said above, and make sure that it shows that you've put effort and spent time doing it.
Yeh, I was worried about being too shy, but it's a relaxed atmosphere, so helps settle the nerves - and preparing well, helps a lot! :P
Hm, I dunno what the group size will be, as it's a bit closer to the time... Hopefully, for your sake, it won't be any more than about 10! :)

I've got a fantastic t-shirt tan this summer... :P

rather jealous that youve got your job already sorted and im sat worrying about my interview when I get home
ok then thank you I will go on all of that and find out some more infromation
its for Hotel Assistant and Ive already got hotel experience which I guess is probably a pretty good thing to have
Iver started thinking about what to do already as I have got quite a bit of time then sort it out propperly when Im actually back home
oh ok I thought it would be really formal and then ı would just freak and not talk
thanks I hope so to but I should be fine hopefully
Haha well done Ive just got bikini lines haha shows what I do everyday before I go to work

Don't stress too much, you'll be fine!
Oh, hotel assistant? Well, I can't even pretend to help, as I don't actually have any idea what you'd be doing... But as you have the experience, you'll have way more of an idea :P
Nahh, not too formal! The interviewers would like to have a laugh; they do hundreds of these over this period, and it'll make it less monotonous - remember this when planning your presentation too!
Ha. I don't have any of those :P Gonna work on getting rid of my t-shirt tan... When I have the time...

Got an interview for Bar Supervisor on 7th. I've read everyone's replies and they've made me less nervous. I've got bags of experience as a Bar Manager, so im hoping they will look at that as I'm not very good at group interviews.
 
Has anyone seen the bar supervisor interviews? I was thinking of maybe doing a very quick and basic cocktail flair class (throwing the bottles around) in the hope it shows im a team player, maybe even ticking that box haha! Im thinking think might be a train wreck though :(

I got a job with Crystal as a Resort Rep. I'm really looking forward to it. Perhaps a bit too much. Summer is kind of starting to drag a bit :).

When I had my interview for a bar supervisor, I was the only one there for that position. So, I'm guessing, you'll be in the same boat too, well, sorta - the group interview will probably be for a mix of different positions. I imagine flaring is something they've seen a lot for bar related work, and if you're not 110% confident about it, think about something else you could do, which perhaps they haven't seen?

Ah brilliant thanks, I take it their looking for key things during the group stage then? ie: if you're applying as a bar supervisor you'll have to demonstrate that you take a natural lead etc? I did wonder if they have seen it before, so i was thinking of incorporating it into my 3 funniest tales i've had in the bar industry? Are they simply looking at your ability to stand there and talk to a group, or do they mark on your skillset? I just don't want to give a 5 minute presentation on what would essentially be my CV - doesn't make for great talking does it?

ok well I will try and make it as interesting as possible but kinda hard to sort it all out when im not at home but I will do it İve got just over a week from when I get home to my interview so can sort myself out

Lee89; I don't know about the group stage tbh, they didn't actually go through it at my interview, so I can't be any help there! I think yeh, they'd look for a leader role, and team work. Yeh, tell some tales about bar work, and potentially what you learned from them?  I don't think they're too bothered about your ability to talk in front of a group... however, if you can't, it's obviously not a good sign. They won't care about the skillset - they have no idea what it's going to be, so it could be a completely irrelevant skill to start with. I think they just want to see what you come up with, and see effort you've put into it, and how much time you've spent on it. Definitely don't present your CV - they want something creative! All I can think of to help.

laurenAmy; That should be alright then! Errm, even if you're not at home, just have a think about what you could do, so, you'll have sorta idea what you wanna do, and maybe even begin to plan it - otherwise, a week may not be enough time!

I had an interview a couple of weeks ago and got offered a job the following day. 
Don't worry too much about the presentation, it does seem a bit daunting because the task isn't very specific... which is because they want you to interpret it in your own way.  I would suggest taking something with you to talk about and focus on selling yourself and your skills to them.  If you cant think of anything immediately relevant to your job role (ie hotel assistant) then maybe try something humorous or something that makes you as a person stand out. You are sure to make a good impression if you dress suitably, go well prepared, get involved and smile/be friendly.

Check a previous post of mine - it's got some info about the sorta presentations that happens, and what i reckon is the best sorta way to do it; as well as the company info stuff... You need to have some knowledge, it helps! I didn't when I did it and looked a bit foolish.

Laura - How'd it go? Don't worry, I didn't hear back from mine for about 3-5 days... I'm impressed people have heard the day after!

Hey, I was incredibly nervous doing the "introduce yourself" bit, I needn't be but I just got a bit anxious so didn't manage to say everything I wanted to. :( Then it went round again and I had to do my task, I applied for chalet housekeeping but was unsure what to do so I did bottle flaring to demonstrate I like learning new skills, can learn fast and can follow a routine.. then I did towel origami and made a swan out of a bath towel, then I presented a cake I baked as my role also includes serving food so I thought may as well. I baked a chocolate cola cake (has half a can of coke in it!) 

They seemed to like it an I was less nervous but still a bit twitchy. Then it was the group questions, luckily I prepared and got my voice heard (felt more relaxed then) then it was the written which I think went okay. Not heard back from them yet so it's a relief that you heard after a few days! I'd hate to of ruined the interview because of my nervous start.

Being nervous is natural! Everyone is, some people just hide it better than others!
Wow, that sounds like quite an impressive presentation! I'm sure you did well!
I'm sure you'll hear from them soon! Good luck for when you do :)

Yehh! I know that feeling! It's horrible. Just try to push it out your mind!
I applied for a bar supervisor... I've got a position in Courchevel, at the hotel Les Anemones at1850... should be good!
