About your past
Tell me about a time a supervisor sent a room back to you after inspection. How did you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they take correction without getting defensive and fix the habit behind the miss.
This job means bending, lifting mattresses and pushing a heavy cart all shift. How do you pace yourself to finish your rooms safely?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the physical demands and use safe lifting habits that prevent injuries.
Tell me about a time you helped a coworker finish their rooms when you were done with yours.
What they are checking: Whether they see the floor as a team effort rather than only their own assigned list.
What would you do
At an airport hotel like Loews Chicago O'Hare, guests check in and out at all hours. How do you plan your room list when early arrivals are waiting on rooms?
What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize rooms the front desk needs first instead of just cleaning in hallway order.
You knock, announce yourself, and walk in to find a guest still in the room. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they protect guest privacy and handle an awkward moment politely and calmly.
You find a wallet with cash under the bed in a checkout room. What happens next?
What they are checking: Whether they follow lost and found procedure every time, since honesty with guest property is non-negotiable in housekeeping.
A guest stops you in the hallway and asks for extra towels, a late checkout and directions to the shuttle. How do you handle all three?
What they are checking: Whether they help guests directly or pass requests to the right person instead of brushing them off.
About the work
Walk me through how you clean a checkout room from the moment you open the door.
What they are checking: Whether they follow a consistent routine so nothing gets missed when they are tired or rushed.
How do you handle a Do Not Disturb sign that has been up for two days?
What they are checking: Whether they know a long DND can be a safety concern and should be reported to a supervisor, not ignored.
What would you do if you noticed signs of bed bugs while stripping a bed?
What they are checking: Whether they know to stop, leave the room as is and report right away so the problem does not spread.
How do you keep cleaning chemicals safe and used correctly on your cart?
What they are checking: Whether they respect chemical labels and never mix products, which protects them and guests.
