      Flight Attendant Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Newark, NJ) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      The total process took two weeks. I applied online then a few days later got an email to do the video interview. I dressed in a suit for the video interview because they say to dress as if you were going to a face to face. I was asked, what a common misconception of me by my coworkers was. I was asked why I wanted to be a flight attendant, I was asked if I had a trouble adhering to the no tattoo policy. I was asked how I felt with upset customers. I was asked about a time I went above and beyond for the customer. Get used to using the STAR method because you only have 180 seconds. The very next day I was invited to attend a face to face interview in one week. I called the recruiting office, and they sent me to Newark, NJ. The flight is free. Dress in a plain suit either black or navy blue. No pin stripes, or weird fashions. Also, don't wear khakis or jeans. They expect you to wear a suit to training so might as well show they you're ready to start. I got there two hours early, I thought security in the airport would take longer. Be early though, it gives you time to talk and mingle with other people going for the job too. They want to see you can do that, and it made me less nervous. At nine they came and introduced themselves. There's a lot of recruiters, so try to write down their names and a helpful fact about them. It may help you if they end up interviewing you. Next, they bring you to their secure location which is kind of cold. Nice place though. You give them your resume and they take you to a presentation room where they tell you about the company, the pay, and reserve status. Ask questions, if your first interview goes well they might be the one interviewing you next. Don't ask dumb questions. A few people were raising their hands asking silly questions, they weren't hired. Do a lot of research about the company, and show you have. The face to face went really well. I read a message from a card. Read it to yourself first then use appropriate inflections. The lady interviewing me asked a lot of behavior based questions. Just be yourself and be prepared. Ask questions and show you understand the reserve status. The first year takes a lot of commitment. They want to see you're ready. She asked if I could stay a little longer. EVEN IF YOUR PLANE IS LEAVING STAY! I went to wait in another room. There were a lot less people. I was the second to be called back. The two hiring managers interviewed me. I told them quickly why I wanted to be a flight attendant. They again asked about reserve status. They asked about tattoos. Just be yourself, smile, and be honest. They stepped out and in under a minute came back in and offered me a job contingent on training, physical exam, sight, hearing tests, and a drug test along with criminal and work history check.

      Application

      I interviewed at United Airlines

      Interview

      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.

      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.
