The Marriott is using a new way to recruit employees, by giving them a video game. The hotel chain created My Marriott Hotel, a new Facebook app that allows you to run a hotel kitchen.

Officials are hoping that you video game addicts will have so much fun playing My Marriott Hotel that you'll want to apply to work at a real-life hotel and fill one of the company's 50,000 openings.

As part of the game, you can create your own hotel restaurant, hire staff, purchase supplies for the kitchen and manage orders from the chefs. You will earn points for satisfied customers and lose 'em if you give bad service.

The game is offered in five languages. According to UpTake, Marriott plans to add other hotel departments to later versions of the game, and a mobile phone version is also scheduled for next year. Even if you aren't in the market for a new job, My Marriott might be a good change of pace over your FarmVille addiction.
