This is a typical interview process. After turning in my resume I had a couple of past employers also submit recommendations on my behalf. This I believe is what really got my foot in the door. They had been trying to fill this position for over a year and were quite particular on who they wanted to hire. Having a good reputation for what I do really helped. I had a phone interview with the President of the company. He then proceeded to fly out to Austin to interview me in person. Once he approved me I was interviewed by the management at the location I would be banquet manager of. They believed I was a good fit as well and I began the next week.
