We're excited to share that we’re accepting applications for the Flight Attendant (R-2023-35522) position the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 26, and expect the application window to close no later than 1:00 p.m. CT. ​​​​​​

 

If you’re interested, here's how you can prepare to apply:​​​​​​​  

  • Create or update your Candidate Home Profile account. For the Flight Attendant position, your profile information must match your passport exactly. Confirm your Candidate Home Profile reflects your full legal name, including all first, middle, and last names included on your passport or legal documents.  
  • While not required to apply or interview, you must possess a valid, unexpired passport book as a Flight Attendant. You may want to begin the passport application process if you don't already have one.
  • Update your resume for your application and visit our Knowledge Base on the Southwest Community for helpful tips on tailoring your resume to a specific job

 

Our application and interview process: 

  • On the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 26, search for the Flight Attendant (R-2023-35522) position on careers.southwestair.com and review the description and requirements of the role. If you’d like to apply, fill out the application and questionnaire carefully and accurately, as you can’t edit later.
  • You'll receive an email within one week of applying to confirm your application submission. Double check that your email address is accurate when submitting your application, as you'll also receive other email updates from our Team. Monitor your inbox and junk/spam folders so you don’t miss important updates.
  • Our Inflight Recruiting Team reviews applications in the order received and invites each qualified Candidate to speak with them. With high interest and  applications, this process takes many months to complete.
  • We'll review and invite Candidates to interview as early as October, with most interviews taking place throughout 2024.

My Candidate Home Profile does not permit me to upload a resume or enter any personal information, including name.  The "Update Contact Information" link does not exist in my profile.  May I please get clarification? Thank you kindly.

You are not alone, [Update Contact Information] doesn't appear on my profile either.  I believe we don't upload resumes until the position opens on Tuesday and we actually apply.
