I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Airlines in July 2014
Interview
It was a panel interview. Two people were on the panel. There were about 7 or 8 candidates. the interview proess consisted of about 6 or 7 questions. Then there was a guided tour through the building. After the tour there was a computer test to see how quickly you could find information on the internet about the company. The interviewers were very friendly, and they smiled and gave you unspoken encouragement throughout the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of when you raised the bar for yourself and those around you, and what was the result?
First they assign you an interview, so doesn’t matter if you are available or not, and they don’t tell you when it is until about 5 days before. I scrambled to get my work covered for that day and in an email they tell you to get to the airport 15 min before your time. I get their on time but have to wait at the ticket line to tell someone I’m there. By the time I get to a person, it’s my interview time and it proceeds to take more time for the agent to tell someone I’m even there. At this point I’m late and the supervisor tells me that the manager said I’m late and I’ll need to reschedule. It’s not even 3 minutes past, and I’ve left work early and driven 30 minutes for nothing. They don’t even validate my parking for me, so now I have to pay to park for nothing as well. Don’t bother applying here, it’s a waste of time.
I interviewed at American Airlines (Greenville, SC)
Interview
The interview process was professional and well-structured. It began with an initial discussion about my background and experience, followed by questions focused on my skills, problem-solving abilities, and how I would handle responsibilities related to the role.

Question 1
They asked me how I handle pressure when multiple priorities are competing. It stood out because it directly relates to the pace of the role and how I stay organized and focused
Not much to say, I didn’t get the job. I interviewed online and it was pretty straight forward, but I didn’t like the location I would’ve had to work at, so we didn’t proceed
