I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2009
Interview
I first received an offer for a phone interview, and spoke with someone in HR for about 30 minutes. After that, I was flown to their headquarters for a final round interview with the same HR recruiter along with someone from the department in which I was applying. Within a week, I received a phone call with an offer, which I happily accepted. My interview was what drew me into the company, getting to see how fun the culture was from the second I stepped foot in the door. Everyone was overly friendly, and the popcorn machine and free peanuts didn't hurt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you faced an ethical dilemma, and how you went about solving it.
It was a one way interview software was rlly buggy and syas you can redo the videos if you mess up but you cant :(. All behavioural basic like why southwest, why this position specifically, how does your experience, course work and involvemnet align with this position, a time you had conflict.
Lots of STAR style questions that pertain to past experiences. The interview was primarily conversation based, and not intimidating at all, would definitely recommend in any department, even if nervous.
It was quick and easy. This was the first round and more of a screening to make sure I met the same requirements that were mentioned on the application. They only asked 3 behavioral questions.
