I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied online on March 5th and received an email to schedule an interview on March 11th. My interview was one week later. When arriving, candidates had to check-in to verify their flight and hand in their resumes. Every candidate was also handed a name tag. The interview started out with a presentation regarding being a flight attendant at United Airlines. After, there was a Question & Answer section where all questions/concerns would be answered and clarified. During the Question & Answer time, people were pulled out of the presentation room for their one-on-one interview. During my one-on-one, my recruiter was very hard to read and was very intimidating. He was not very personable and told me that I would hear back with a final decision within 7-10 days. Some candidates were pulled to another room for a second interview for further questioning about their application and ability to be successful as a flight attendant.

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?
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?
I conducted my online assessment with questions about company policy, seating charts and customer requests with what is allowed and what isn't. I took my time with every question and reviewed it twice before submitted and now I'am invited to the virtual interview.
