I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2016
Interview
A recruiter called me for a phone interview. I didn't have any notice but she was really nice and made me feel very comfortable. She asked me about myself, told me about the position in detail, then asked a few questions about my experience. She later told me I would be moved on to the next step which was F2F. It was scheduled for a week and a half later. When I got to the People Dept. everyone was nice, the recruiters came to me to introduce themselves. I went to the interrogation room with the manager and a recruiter not the one that did my phone. The lady was very nice and all smiles, the guy was laid back. Pretty comfortable environment.

This is definitely not the company to work for nor the environment to thrive in. The morale of this company has gone downhill tremendously, this is definitely a place that I wouldn’t recommend anyone being employed at.

Interview
Interview process was really easy. The first part of the interview was a phone screening to see if you are a good candidate for the position. They will ask about things written in job description and if you know about duty period regulations. Then they ask about a time that you went above and beyond, and other standard questions. Then at the end they will tell you if you move to the second part or not, which I was. I was told that I needed to go to HQ about a week later for the F2F interview.
For the F2F interview, my interview was scheduled for 11:15 CST. When you get to HQ you will need to check in with security at the gate and then inside the building. You then proceed to the people’s department. They will call you to go and interview. They ask some questions like for example: who are you? why Southwest? why would you like this position? How do you see yourself if 5-10 years? and so on. Afterwards you ask your questions (MAKE SURE YOU DO) and that’s it. I was fortunate to be hired on the spot and gladly accepted. Afterwards you proceed to drug testing and fingerprinting and then you go home.
