I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at United Airlines (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Applied online, within 2 days they asked me to do a video interview, they asked me to do a F2F a week later in San Francisco. It was very short about 2 hrs at most. They spoke briefly about the company and what the future plans are, then they called us 1 by 1 and that was that. They asked why United and then a role play about an crew member not wanting to do her job and how i would handle the situation. after that they said I would be notified within a week. Unfortunately I did not get the position, However it was a great experience everyone was very nice and friendly. Thank you United, see you in a year.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
Its a multi-step interview process. First a resume submission and a questionnaire, then a pre-recorded interview with a few questions. I was asked this during the pre-recorded interview. Waiting for my live virtual interview!
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.
