I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2018
Interview
Staff provided excellent support through the entire process. Everyone was upbeat, friendly and helpful just as you would expect from this amazing company's core values. I did a LOT of research on the company which is important but also make sure you are clear on your unique personality and what special contribution you would make to the company and your team. Also be extremely rested for your face to face to keep up your high energy for the day.
