I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Las Vegas, NV) in Oct 2018
Interview
So for anyone who really wants to be a flight attendant there is a website that updates every day to tell you what airlines are hiring. It’s called flightattendatcareers.com
When I first applied for United I did the online application and completely redid my resume and made sure it was updated and looked professional. I even made a new email so I didn’t have my kiddy email anymore. I got my invitation for my video interview 10/5. I prepped and practiced for 4 days, watching YouTube, coming on this app, even going on their own website. When I did my video interview I didn’t see anything about practicing questions so i just dove in to the interview. I felt like I did well I submitted my VI 10/9 and I am currently waiting to hear back to see if I get a TBNT or a invitation for a F2F.
If anyone who has been here, has any tips I would gladly appreciate! I’m freaking out! I know it’s only been a day but I really really really want to be a flight attendant so bad. My whole family was in aviation!
On-demand virtual interview, 1:1 virtual interview, F2F interview day w/ group activities. Nothing was tricky, but it took about 1.5 months in total. There is also a language exam for those applying to a speaker position.
