I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Oakland, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
Did not hear back until 16 months after applying. Phone screen was conducted online.
Interview was held locally in Oakland and you arrive with a group of 50+ other candidates, but really that's just so they can explain the basics and expectations of the job in mass. Then they call you one on one for the interview which is conducted with one current F/A and one member of the HR team.
Personality and attitude are the highest of priorities for Southwest, so they pay a lot of attention to how you present yourself and answer questions. Don't let the pressure get to you, and just be yourself. If your personality is what SWA is looking for, then you're in. If it isn't, then SWA probably isn't for you anyway.

The interview was on zoom in 2022. It was with a recruiter and flight attendant. They were very nice and made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. The whole interview took around 30 minutes.

So far, it has been moving at a great pace. I have only completed my on demand interview, and I am scheduled to attend my face to face in the near future! The online interview was great - be yourself, smile, and use the uninterrupted time to really express yourself! I'm very grateful for this opportunity and best of luck to all those applying!
