Interview

Applied in August 2016, didn’t hear anything again (besides a few emails regarding the company) until July 2017. Received a call asking if I was still interested, in which I replied yes! About 2wks later on a Wednesday got an email to fill out background and etc. Same day received call to set up phone interview. Phone interview was the very next Tuesday. Phone interview went great, I felt very comfortable and was just myself. Some of the questions asked were helpful coming from here. The next day I got the call I would be moving onto the next step which was to be flown to Dallas for the f2f interview. It took about 2wks from then to set up my flight and interview time. I had my f2f interview on Monday 10/16. There was 7 of us and we chatted with each other, eased our nerves. We all went into a room to be briefed about the company and etc. Once that was done we were called in individually to interview. My interview lasted about 30min, again I was myself!

We were told it would be up to 2wks to hear something..today (8 days later, but who was counting lol) I got the call and accepted the job offer!! YAY!!

Good luck!

The interview process went by quicker than expected! I was referred by a current employee. The recruiter was nice enough to phone me an hour prior to the opening of the position to make sure I apply. I applied on 2/8. The following week I received an email to continue with the phone interview. On 2/20 my recruiter called for the phone interview which consisted of a background of your past jobs. He asked why SWA and if I knew the duties of a CSA. At the end of the call, he invited me for a f2f interview for 3/2. Very comfortable atmosphere, asked the usual STAR questions. On 3/4 I received an email I was offered the position and moving on with the drug test and background check. Overall it was a very quick and satisfying experience. Make sure you do your research of the company, be prepared, smile and be confident and relatable.

Interview

The entire experience for me was amazing!! I successfully made it past my phone and face to face interview. I applied for the position in 2016 or early 2017. I received a call in Nov. 2017 asking if still interested. A phone interview was set up for Feb. 2018. A couple days after phone interview I was invited to the face to face interview. My face to face interview took place in March. Nine potential candidates for this position including myself were being interviewed. We were sequestered into a meeting room and given information about the position and background about the company. You should go in knowing about the company so do your
research. The atmosphere the flight attendants created in the room made me feel at ease. ( not so nervous) Afterwards back to the lobby we went. I met pilot candidates and of course other flight attendant candidates.

The interview itself was about 40 minutes. The interviewers made me feel at ease. They were great. I received a phone call a week later with a CJO. I was so grateful and humbled by the entire experience /offer. I'm excited to say the least. Research the company. Be yourself. Dress appropriately. ( this is a formal interview)

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (San Diego, CA) in April 2018.

Interview

I submitted my resume on 02/05/18 right after the crash. I thought it would take much longer then it did to get to the phone interview, but I was emailed March 27th, and was called on the 28th to set up a phone interview!! I was very excited :) The phone interview was set for the 4th of April, and yes I was very nervous, but did a lot of study which really helped calm my nerves. The recruiter was amazing young man, who made me feel at ease right away! As we were saying good bye he said it would be 2 to 4 days and I would receive an email letting me know if I was going to the F2F. But he said he needed me to fix a couple things on my application and he would call me back. Well he called me back and he decided that we had such a good interview that he was sending me straight to F2F!! I was over the moon happy!! Southwest is the best and really the most comfortable I've ever felt during an interview!
