I applied in November, 2014, completed the online video interview (which are pre-recorded questions, and they video record your answer) in December, and a week later received an invitation for an in-person interview, "Blue Review." I had the option of selecting from 5 different interview dates/locations, and chose the last option in February, 2015 in Orlando.
There were 40 people in my interview class, which is a normal amount for a major airline. There were about 20 total JetBlue employees present, from current Inflight crew members to interns, HR reps, and talent acquisition agents. All of the employees were extremely professional and genuinely happy and excited to be be at this interview, I was very impressed with their presentations and conductions of the interview as a whole.
The interview started at 8:30am with signing in and getting name tags. After the staff introduced themselves, we all had to introduce ourselves by stating our name, what made us want to work for JetBlue, and a fun fact about ourselves.
Next, we were broken up into groups of five as JetBlue employees watched each group construct a tower from note cards to see how we each could work with others.
They then gave an incredible presentation on JetBlue, including pay rates, flights and scheduling, JetBlue University, requirements for training, benefits, uniforms, etc. We were able to ask questions afterward.
We then broke for lunch - you either have to bring your own, or you can go out to eat, lunch is not provided.
When we came back we all took turns getting our fingerprints taken, reading an announcement, and if you were a Spanish-speaking candidate, you took your Spanish test. Once you have done those two (or three) you then proceeded to a de-briefing, and finally an interview.
The de-briefing consists of two JetBlue employees going over your resume with you and asking you a couple questions that refer to your resume, or thereabouts.
The interview is next with two other JetBlue employees. They asked four questions, and you were to respond with the STAR method - situation, task, action, result. They told us that we should hear back by the end of next week.
By the time I was finished with my interview, it was almost 3:30pm, and there were about 15 people left to interview.
I received a phone call exactly one week later that I had been selected to attend training at JetBlue University in Orlando! I was then overnighted forms for a drug test which had to be completed within two days. I also received an e-mail to submit some personal information, as well as fill out some online forms for the company that conducts the background checks for prospective flight attendants for JetBlue.
Once the drug test and background tests have been completed (which cannot be more than a month before training per FAA regulations) I will begin training on April 1st, 2015 at JetBlue U!
