I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Nov 2012
Interview
Filled up an application online at their website, united.com. Click on careers and look for flight attendant. When filling up application make sure you answer all questions completely and never, NEVER say you don't want to relocate to a place you honestly don't want to be relocated. You will be disqualified. United gets back to you in an email saying they want to interview you and asking for them to call them to set up date for interview and fly to Houston, TX for the interview. During day of interview, 50+ people are all seated in a room and maybe 6 or 7 interviewers will be interviewing all this 50+people. I only got one interview and hoping I get the job. You can't stay inside the premises of the place so when you get done with the interview they want you to exit the door. I think they don't want people who got interviewed to find out who are the people who got the job right away?

Question 1
Finish the following sentence." I don't like when customers are ______"
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.

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.
