I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Apr 2015
Interview
It's exactly how everyone on here said it would be. Be prepared to move to SFO.. and be there for years as they said that base needs flight attendants and transferring out is near impossible. You'll also be on reserve for several years as well but that's not too bad depending on your personality. Reserve can be exciting if you are spontaneous but if you're more of a structured individual then you might want to look elsewhere. Anyway, I received a second interview with two recruiters who honestly threw me off. One guy was not paying me any mind while the other was shaking his head while I was talking and after that I messed up horribly and was told they'd email me in a week. I take that as I didn't get the job but honestly it was a great learning experience. Make sure you're dressed sharp! Ladies.. a nice suit and low heels. I saw some people who had khaki pants and too high heels..they were eliminated immediately. Dress as if you're already a flight attendant and be confident! Do not let these people intimidate you in any way! Remember, they're human just like you. Best of luck to you all and if you don't get the job do not be discouraged. There's a time for everyone to do something and it may not be your moment but be patient and never give up if this is what you dream of doing! Even if it takes 4 tries.. don't be defeated! I saw many sad faces and heard people say they're never trying again but don't have that attitude. Stay positive and trust your journey for everyones is different. Have fun and make sure you keep in touch with the other candidates. I met some incredible people and forgot to get their contact information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would be a challenge a flight attendant might face?
Tell me about yourself.
What do you know about this position?
the face to face live video interview with a HR personnel. I collected all possible questions from reddit to glassdoor and formulate my answers and thought they're going to ask the same questions but they didn't. The HR kind of tell that I have a ready made answers so she stirred the interview differently so my answer will be organic. Thankfully I passed this 30 minute interview. The interviewer did not look interested because she is multi-tasking but best believe she is listening to your answers.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
I’m heading to the F2F interview in TX. Every step so far has not been difficult for me. I also have no prior knowledge in being a FA. The hardest part so far is probably just the nerves and anxiety. Just prep well, do some research, have some basic questions and answer prepared so that even if they ask a different question you can possibly use one of the scenarios of another question and tailor it to the new one.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
I conducted my online assessment with questions about company policy, seating charts and customer requests with what is allowed and what isn't. I took my time with every question and reviewed it twice before submitted and now I'am invited to the virtual interview.
