I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I was invited to fly to San Francisco to interview a couple of weeks before the interview date. United offers to fly everyone who lives 4 hours away from the nearest interview site but requires those who take the curtesy flight to find their own accommodations. The interview took place at the training center that is only accessible by an employee bus from the airport so I would suggest those who interview to arrive extra early to the airport from their hotels or wherever they are coming from because a lot of people ended up being late to the interview because of the extra time it took to ride the bus to the center. There ended up being about 30 of us in the room while we were waiting to be interviewed and they called us up one person at a time to follow a recruiting agent. We were all interviewed in one big room in separate cubicles so it got a little bit noisy once in a while. The recruiters were extremely nice and the interview was very short. All of the questions I was asked were questions other people posted about here on glassdoor so I would suggest to look over the questions here and practice before the actual interview in order to be more prepared.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is a misconception that customers might have had about you?
Flight attendants are required to do a service on all flights. Imagine I was your coworker and we were on a short 35 minute flight and I refused to do service. What would you do?
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.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
