Tips on flying in Southwest - going to book my first flight with southwest but have heard that sears are not assigned and the system works a little differently. Used to traveling in delta and United.. so not really sure what to expect from southwest. If I buy a ticket, can I still not get a seat assigned to me? What are the other differences?

    Application

    I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears (United States)

    Interview

    The interview was quick and simple. The interview couldnt have lasted more than 10-15 minutes. They didn't ask me many questions. The HR manager seemed nice and welcoming. Preparing for an interview is always suggested.
