I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was robotic, not very personable at all. FA recruiter seemed very superficial. It is not at all what I expected. No one on one, group exercise. A few really uninformed people in our group which made it difficult to complete task. It was apparent they did not read grooming instructions at. Pay attention to grooming standards. Listen to instructions. It was cold. Pay is terrible, cannot live on the pay they offer, lowest in the industry.

Question 1
If you were stranded on an island, what would you take with you
the face to face live video interview with a HR personnel. I collected all possible questions from reddit to glassdoor and formulate my answers and thought they're going to ask the same questions but they didn't. The HR kind of tell that I have a ready made answers so she stirred the interview differently so my answer will be organic. Thankfully I passed this 30 minute interview. The interviewer did not look interested because she is multi-tasking but best believe she is listening to your answers.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
Its a multi-step interview process. First a resume submission and a questionnaire, then a pre-recorded interview with a few questions. I was asked this during the pre-recorded interview. Waiting for my live virtual interview!
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.
