Flight Attendant at United Airlines

No Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2013 – Reviewed May 1, 2013

Interview Details – Filled out the app online, got an interview f2f in Jan and the process was simple. They fly you out to their facility the day before your interview. Hotel and food are all on you. You are there all day. They already know who they want, so they call them first then the other people waiting to be interviewed are called and taken back to the airport on a shuttle. Typical interview questions long all day process, but being prepared is the main part.

International Customer Service Representative at United Airlines

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 19, 2013

Interview Details – I applied online an got invited for an interview within 2 weeks. I arrived at the assigned location 15 min early. There were 15- 20 people already waiting. The whole group was called in around 9:05am. We were asked to sit at the large oval conference table. One of the HR employees started a video presentation about the company. Another presentation followed, which was an overview of the hiring process, being an employee and various benefits and perks. There were minor interruptions were current employees chimed in with their personal experiences. There were around 10 current employees sitting at the room. They've worked for United for a long time and loved what they did. After a q&a session we were told we would be called for individual interviews in the order of arrival. The whole process was very enticing and after the presentations I really wanted this job.

Fight Attendant at United Airlines

No Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 19, 2013

Interview Details – Interview was like I expected from reading other review and I was prepared to face the music. Got there (Houston) around 8:30 the interview was to start at 9:00am sharp. Everyone was in a suit and very quiet. At 9:00am we watched a short promo about United Airlines and then we were called one by one for 1:1 interview. Then back to the big room waited some more got called for the 2nd time and again 1:1 . After that I got a paper with the time to return back after lunch...only 7 of us came back after lunch. We have waited for almost an hour before we were taken to another room with 3 people and more questions were asked. Right after that all 7 of us were told that we will receive an email within a week or so since they have to wait for the language test results. Well, after reading all other reviews I knew what that meant...a polite "thank you" and I was prepared for not hearing back.....it has been a week and no email no call. I kept in touch with the other 6 wonderful people that I met in Houston and we email each other on daily basis wanting to know if any of us got anything....None of us did:(
I have great time, wonderful experience and met some fantastic people.

Network Planning Intern at United Airlines

No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2012 – Reviewed Apr 10, 2013

Interview Details – I initially applied online, heard back within a couple weeks, and set up an introductory phone interview. They asked pretty normal questions, like "tell me about yourself," "tell me about your related experience," etc.
After that interview, I made it to second round phone interviews, which was difficult. I was asked multiple, complex, difficult questions, relating to various specific functions in Excel, different programs they use to help plan the routes that you'd never hear of outside the airline, etc.
They tried to throw ya for a loop, that's for sure!

Interview Question – The most unexpected question I was asked was details about my previous work with an airline on a project that I'd signed a Disclosure Agreement for... but he kept pressing for more information. It was annoying and unprofessional.   Answer Question
