I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2008
Interview
It took a few days and several stepes to be taken but it was a great process. The staff at the staffing agency were great and so where the staff at UAL. Very informative and they took care of us very well. They were very organized. The one thing I liked the best was that you knew from interview #1 if you were going to have the opportunity or not. I knew on the spot that I was going to be extended the opportunity to enter the 7 week training. You have to pass that 7 week training in Chicago in order to become a flight attendant. It is very essential to be trained and to pass.
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.
