I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at United Airlines (Houston, TX) in Sep 2012
Interview
Like other applicants I applied for the flight attendant position months ago and finally heard back form the airline that my application was being reviewed and if selected I would be invited to attend a group interview in Houston, TX. I was selected and was flown into Houston the day before the group interview. I had to pay for my own hotel but that was ok, no problem. The day of the interview several other applicants and myself arrived at the training center where we were directed to a nearby room to sign in. Sitting at a long table were a group of recruiters who were taking applicant names and resumes. After a short time one of the recruiters showed the group a short video about the Airline and answered a few questions then the head recruiter went into further details about the position (ex. reserve status, hubs and relocation etc.) he also advised that the interview would be very short , they were only going to ask each applicant a few question then you could go to the airport to get an earlier flight if you wanted to. One by one the same recruiters that were checking in the applicants called people in for their 1:1 interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were not difficult but were all customer service based in nature. There were questions like, describe a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker. What were the results?
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.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
I conducted my online assessment with questions about company policy, seating charts and customer requests with what is allowed and what isn't. I took my time with every question and reviewed it twice before submitted and now I'am invited to the virtual interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at United Airlines (Dallas, TX) in May 2026
Interview
I was offered to do the recorded interview with United Airlines. I allied and took the assessment test. It was easy questions that really only you have the answer. I’m excited to go further and hopefully be given the offer of employment. The closest base to me is Houston. I eventually would like to change bases to Austin
