I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Orange, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was nervous about where the interview was going to be but luckily it's at the airport in which you are applying.
Two people interviewed me, didn't mention their positions. The woman that was not wearing the Southwest uniform did most of the questioning but they were both really friendly. I know that the woman not wearing a uniform split her time between Orange County and Arizona.
They are really friendly and silly and want you to be comfortable enough to answer truthfully! It isn't hard to engage in small talk with them as they are not stiff and just trying to fill out paperwork. They are trying to make sure you are good for the company and company mission.
I applied in early March, interviewed last Tuesday on March 31 and took my drug test today (April 6) and am scheduled to go to fingerprinting. Flying out to Oakland Thursday (April 9)
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Not everyone is perfect so tell us one weakness that you feel you have.
I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
The interview was a very casual meet and greet. Several HR employees were sitting at different tables casually asking questions to potential candidates. If the HR Rep was interested, he had you speak to another one of his colleagues. From that point, if they both gave you the thumbs up, you were drug tested and finger-printed on the spot. A job offer came within ten days of that first and only interview.

Interview
Behavioral interview questions, know things about the company, have questions for the interviewer, smile smile smile. Have knowledge of the position expectations and qualifications. I would recommend STAR method answers and just be prepared and be yourself.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Denver, CO) in Jun 2023
Interview
I had attended a hiring event and it was great, Southwest seems to be a great company. It took hours though, so if you plan on attending a hiring event held by Southwest, I'd plan a good 5 hours to be there. Show up dressed good, prepared for an interview. Take your resume.

Question 1
They ask you questions about how you'd react in situations where the customer is frustrated, yelling, etc., coworker disagreements, if a coworker is doing something wrong (how you would address them/ deal with it), and lastly why you're interested in the company.
