      Concierge Interview

      18 May 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Archstone (Washington, DC) in Feb 2008

      Interview

      9 times out of 10 you will only get the job if you know someone who works there. Thats the only reason they kept me going in the interview and onboarding process. I had to continually follow up with them. Everyone was disorganized. I was only applying for part time weekend position and I had to do 10 drug tests in the process of three months after I got the job offer. Every time I showed up for an interview it seemed like it was a suprise to everyone who was interviewing me. Felt like every person that was meeting me made their decision to hire me because they were attracted to me, not because they listened to anything I said. Did not have any experience in real estate or with any other property management company or hotel, but they say that to people they don't think are attractive enough to work there. Archstone is very about your appearance-- which I later learned after working for the company...sort of like how Abercrombie and Fitch only invites you to apply for a position there when they see you shopping in the store. You have to have a certain look.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Are there any programs in a company that you worked for that taught you how to deal with problematic situations?
