I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
Applied online in fall of 2011. Was contacted by email in March 2012 to say my application was being considered. Contacted again with another email that said I was invited to a group interview event in Houston, and that they would provide transportation. Had to call to confirm and have them schedule and send flight info.
"Group interview event" started early in the morning, with an orientation video, then several people being interviewed one-on-one in different cubicles at once. Those who passed the first interview were told to return later in the day for a second one-on-one interview.
Those who did not fare so well were told "we'll be in touch" and sent back to the airport to catch their flights home. I made it through to the second interview but no further. Those who made it through three (possibly more) interviews (I saw some people being walked into the office of the head of recruiting) were hired that day, pending a thorough background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time at a previous job when you encountered a safety issue? How did you deal with it, and what was the end result?
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Dallas, TX) in May 2026
Interview
I was offered to do the recorded interview with United Airlines. I allied and took the assessment test. It was easy questions that really only you have the answer. I’m excited to go further and hopefully be given the offer of employment. The closest base to me is Houston. I eventually would like to change bases to Austin
