I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines
Interview
I applied sometime in 2014 between October and December. Received an email in February to attend a group interview in Houston, TX at 8:30 a.m. I followed the directions given to arrive and depart the airport in business attire. Luckily I did, because the day of the interview one of the flight attendants said she saw me in baggage claim. Everyone thought I was a flight attendant as well.
I loved the recruiter who I interviewed with! He had such a great personality during the information session. Afterwards, I asked two questions, in which the second question stumped him. I guess it was a good thing, because I made it to the second round.
I then interviewed with one of the HR recruiters, they asked me three questions, then said they'll email me within a week. Out of about 30 applicants, only 7 were selected for the second round.
Unfortunately, only 1 out of 7 was given an offer. I think I would've gotten an offer if I answered one question correctly. Which was, why do you want to be a flight attendant? I realized afterwards, I didn't mention anything about the company. So, now i know how to prepare better next time I apply.
Great experience nonetheless! Met and exchanged information with 2 amazing people on the plane to Houston, and 3 others during the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to be a flight attendant?
What would make you stand out 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.
