Just a few side notes: I recently interviewed in Chicago. All the notes and questions are completely accurate on Glassdoor. Read them and know them, with your own stories. Travelling to Chicago in professional wear, everyone thought I was a flight attendant, even the FA and Pilots, passengers would stop me to ask me questions. Entering Willis tower they thought I was an FA trainer. The FA I was greeted by gave me all kinds of thumbs up. Other interviewees thought I was an FA planted in the group, so they all wanted to talk to me. I am a career changer, educated, excellent corporate work history and fully bilingual and was/am applying for the language FA. It cost me $500 to attend this interview and shaky ground with my current employer: 2 days off work, new suit and matching shoes, hotel, light meals and incidentals like nail polish and lipstick I'll never use, cab and train rides. I had thumbs up from other interviewing flight attendants that wanted to be in my training class. I was the fourth called in and the interview was fluid and amazing! This in my mind was happening! As others had put it, because of my language - I should have been a shoe in. I was dismissed after my first interview with a senior FA. After she stated We'll let you know in 5-7 days via e-mail. I asked about my language testing? She had no idea I was a language applicant. She looked at me with disbelief and said how fluent are you? Now let's just talk about this disbelief, I'm an adult who told you real stories, actually they were mild stories of my achievements and customer service successes. I not only had a brag book to back my stories but letters from customers and national awards. My references alone should have stated my validity. I stated my fluency and she made a comment of how she took that language in high school as well and failed. I restated I'm completely fluent and was raised in the country of that language and all my education was in this language, as well as my family. She again looked in disbelief and said we'll tell you the next step in 5-7 days. This was an amazing interview until that last part, that I was not only prepared for but was fantastically executed. I don't currently make a lot of money as stated I'm career changer. This $500 would have been put to much better use. All I'm saying is, think it through... They may have scrapped every interview from that day, I've heard they've done that before per current FA's and local applicant FA's. There were probably 25 people in that room with me. Most applicants believed only three would be offered training which is closer to 1 from 3 locations each day or 2 a day chosen from all six locations. Every city on the list is performing interviews and they seem to do interviews every week day. If they have a class every 5 weeks of 50 people (as stated) and are interviewing on average 25 candidates at 6 locations, that is 150 people a day across the US.(150 candidates per day X 5 days a week x 5 weeks of interviews = 3750 candidates versus the 50 going to training once every 5 weeks) just do the math, that's a 1.3% chance of being offered training. Now I'm not sure if I will be called, there's that small hope that it was as great as I thought. Realistically, I shouldn't have gone, the interviewer didn't even look at my resume or know what I was applying for. It's really just left a bad taste in my mouth and to add to it, FA and Pilots are picketing for a better contract- look it up. We all look at this information on Glassdoor, but are you looking at all the information or just the questions to prepare. Think it through is all I'm saying! Update: I did hear back before this was released. I was declined and thanked for sharing my qualifications face to face.I replied with a detailed e-mail of my experience.
