COMMITMENT TO VETERANS Hilton Worldwide has been committed to sup- porting veterans and their families since the companys founding nearly a century ago by Conrad Hilton, a United States Army veteran who served in World War I.

There are many ranks, with a great deal of opportunity to grow. Military veterans are a natural fit for Hilton Worldwide. The two groups share similar values such as integrity, ownership and teamwork that support the companys mission to become the preeminent global hospitality leader.

Murray is now a food and beverage restaurant manager with Hilton Worldwide. He is also a Di- versity Committee champion and a food safety facilitator. In addition, he serves as the property military commander, the primary contact for Hil- ton Worldwides Veteran Team Member Resourc- es Group (VTMRG). Through this role, he helps new veteran team members identify a mentor and organizes community volunteer events and veteran team member recognition events. The skills and experiences that Murray learned during his time in the Marine Corps have proved to be invaluable. After joining the Marine Corps Reserve, he worked in the quick-service restau- rant business for nearly eight years. He held vari- ous positions, including shift manager, assistant manager, market training manager, general man- ager, and multi-unit manager of notable fast food chains all before reaching the age of 30. At that point, he knew that it was time for a sig- nificant change. He chose hospitality because of his desire to work with people and to give them an experience like none other. All of my experiences, especially my military ex- periences, have shaped the person that I am today which has helped me to get to where I am now, he said. I have learned a great deal of invaluable leadership experience in the Marine Corps. The discipline, professionalism, and dedication to duty amongst other attributes are all qualities that em- ployers like to see in their employees. Murray said that he would not change anything about his military experience. I believe that the path that I chose to get to where I am as it relates to my military experiences are irreplaceable and invaluable, he said. The things that I have gone through and the decisions that I have made have prepared me to be successful. When I speak of my military experience, it is not in a tone of regret or despair, but rather honor and a deep appre- ciation for the many brothers and sisters (Marines) that I have had the privilege to serve alongside. Coincidentally, one of the Marines that I served with in Afghanistan now works at Hilton Worldwide with me, and two other veterans work at Hilton Worldwide locations close by. So my stories of success have inspired them to do the same; and so far, it is working for them as well as it has worked for me. The leadership skills he developed in the military are paying off at Hilton Worldwide. The skills I de- veloped in the Marine Corps contribute to my abil- ity to lead and develop my subordinates to suc- ceed and accomplish their career goals, he said. Also paying off are his military experiences that involved working with people from around the world. I had to learn to interact with different people from all walks of life, both nationally and internationally, he said. I have learned many customs and courtesies from other countries, and I have really fine-tuned my leadership abili- ties when it comes to living the Hilton values and leading by example because a lot of what Hilton teaches and inspires us to do as leaders the Marine Corps spent years instilling. So, at this point, what others are just now learning, I have been given the unique opportu- nity to fine-tune and perfect. In the field of hos- pitality, you come across many different people. And whether its guests or other team members, they may have different beliefs, ideas, and ways of thinking than you do. I have learned that, with all those personalities and attitudes, you can be successful as a result of my experiences and interactions, and not in spite of them. Because Hilton Worldwides values match up with those of the military, Murray believes veterans will find the company a great place to work. With the exception of my time in the Marine Corps, I have never felt such strong re- gard, passion, and respect for a company like I do about the Hilton Worldwide, he said. When I researched Hilton Worldwides values, they were right in line with that of the Marine Corps. As I continued to look into the career oppor- tunities at Hilton Worldwide further, I recognized that I wanted to continue my career with Hilton Worldwide: an organization of individuals that genuinely have a desire to see you grow and succeed within the company and will go above and beyond what your average employer will do. When I began my career at Hilton Worldwide a short time ago, I asked the training manager in ori- entation how quickly can a person be promoted to the next level. Her response was, Tristan, in the two days that you have been here in orientation, you have stood out and have shown that you have a desire and commitment to your craft and if you continue to show and prove yourself, then your ac- complishments will not go unnoticed. Within months, I was given added responsi- bilities, and shortly after that I was enrolled in a development class. And just after completing my development class and achieving my six months in my current position, I was promoted to that next level. Murray encourages veterans to consider a ca- reer at Hilton Worldwide. If success, advance- ment, and family is something that you are look- ing for in an employer, then without a doubt you should be researching Hilton Worldwides em- ployment opportunities, he said. And when they are ready to find a career at Hilton Worldwide, Murray encourages them to find the best fit. First, figure out what area/de- partment best suits your needs and experiences, and apply for that position, he said. Ensure that your resume best communicates your abilities and skills that you have learned in your time in the service. Then, when you sit down, ask your interviewer questions about the position.
