I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at United Airlines (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was interviewed for a position as training manager. Since the job posting was only opened for a day, I figured it was one of those situations where the right person was already hired, they just had to go through the formalities. I was flown to Chicago to meet with two people at the airport. As we talked, they would then remind themselves of my qualifications. I thought that was a little tacky. They could have at least reviewed my resume before the interview!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They use the standard United Interview protocol that uses the STAR technique. It was easy to research online and I prepared for it, but I still didn't answer the questions 100% correctly. I couldn't always think of a good example for each on the spot.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2025
Interview
Had a short Teams call with the hiring manager directly. Seemed to go ok, then ghosted for well over a month, despite being an employee referral. I may hear something eventually, but it's been crickets.
One-way video assessments with questions that would be better answered in a conversation. Either they are way too simple or too complex to answer in a video recording. Additionally, undependable communication - before, during, and after - it's frustrating.

Question 1
Describe a project from beginning to implementation - explain challenges faced and eventual outcome.
Process was pretty smooth. The recruiter was communicative and everything that I was told to expect happened. The timeline that was given stayed on track. There were multiple rounds of interviews with various team members.
