I applied online. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2022
Interview
Submit Resume , Video Interview, Cattle Call. The video is EXTREMELY difficult to do. Get the lighting correct, angle the device correctly, it’s awful.. Computer then analyzes your video, not a real person. Taken me MANY times to pass this part. I finally did. If you aren’t ethnic enough, they won’t hire you.. Very big on diversity & ethnicity.. Need to be granola/earthy looking as well.
