Have yet to go through it. but we will see if I get the offer so fingers crossed because Southwest is an amazing company to work for and everyone knows it
I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines
Interview
I applied online, which requires a resume and Why Southwest essay. Then, I was contacted regarding a phone interview. The phone interview lasted more about a half an hour. It was with one person and mostly reviewed my resume to make sure of its authenticity as well as explored my career goals. I made it to the final round, in which they fly you to headquarters, but I was studying abroad and therefore had another phone interview. They warned me that it put me at disadvantage. It was almost an hour and there were about five people listening and asking questions. At this point, there were people representing different internship positions.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied and received an internship position for Summer 2017.
1. Submitted resume for review (can apply to as many positions as you want).
2. Contacted to submit a writing sample (prompt "Why Southwest?") was given only a few days to complete.
3. Phone interviewed. I received notice that I was in the running for four positions. Sometimes, they'll interview you for more than one position at a time if it falls under the same recruiter. I did two phone interviews- they were very straightforward and covered my resume/experience.
4. Contacted by phone to come to HQ in Dallas, Texas just a few weeks later.
5. The interview was very comfortable and straightforward. The recruiters were genuine. There are no "trick" questions and they don't drill you – it's more a conversation. I was interviewed by the recruiter who phone interviewed me and the SWA employee who would oversee my team. It seemed like they were most interested in seeing if I had the experience and if I would fit with the company culture.
6. Heard back the next day!
