I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2016
Interview
The phone interview was as expected, the interviewer was a nice woman in Dallas who asked a lot about my work history for the past decade then about a week later I had my in person interview. I was a nervous reck but they moved me along in the process. I did my fingerprints that day at the office and drug screening same day (you have 48 hrs) at a off site 3rd party place. I think the people I've met at southwest are seriously some of the nicest people I have ever met lol, not saying much coming from the US Marines and several other mostly military personnel filled positions. I have not gotten a offer yet because I am still in the background check phase but hopeful!
The interview process is great, the background checks are thorough. Very Very Very Thorough. lol
I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines
Interview
Easy peasy lemon squeezy just be yourself and you should not have a problem having little to no airline experience and still got hired. Multiple interviews not a short process but overall easy
Southwest conducts an information session to discuss the position in detail before being invited to a one-on-one interview. The expectations of the position were laid out in a clear manner.
