Having already been a regional director for a direct competitor of this company in addition to over 20 years hotel management experience I applied to Equity. I had already had three telephone interviews before being invited to fly down to Tampa for a face to face interview with 3 regional vice presidents and a senior vice president, all very nice folks. I was asked to go travel around the Tampa area to view about 8 of their locations in the Tampa area and all in all I found the experience acceptable. But the hang up "do you have a 4 year college degree?" No real consideration to the dozens of years of upper management experience is given and rather than seeing practical hands-on experience a better situation as it would be, if there is no sheepskin then there's no job as a regional. Maybe this will explain why there is constant advertising on places like Hcareers and Indeed,can the turnover rate be that high?
