  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Hilton
  • I would suggest to those who are applying to Hilton that they emphasise their commitment to excellence, their love of money, and their attention to detail. Incorporate experience or education in finance, data analysis, and financial systems. Show off your prowess with financial tools and software, as well as your ability to think critically and solve problems. The ability to contribute to a company's financial operations can be seen by emphasising any prior involvement in finance-related projects, internships, or extracurricular activities. The application will be significantly improved if the applicant can demonstrate a grasp of Hilton's values, customer-centric strategy, and dedication to providing extraordinary experiences.
