ELDP

Hi Kelby,

I'm planning to complete and submit my application for the ELDP position, and I see where there are options on my Southwest Profile to upload a resume, letters of recommendation, a "Why Southwest" essay, and transcript. Does Southwest prefer to initially have a resume and application only, or is it preferred that all documents referenced above be uploaded prior to my application submission?

Thanks in advance,

Bandy

Greetings Bandy!

Thank you for reaching out with your question! As the Specialist over the Emerging Leader Development Program (ELDP), I am happy to respond. We would prefer all requested documents be submitted at the same time. 

Good luck and please feel free to reach out with any additional questions!

Hi Danny,

Thanks again for the information you provided regarding my profile question.

I've noticed though that when I go to update my profile, some of the sections aren't showing up. The last section, I believe titled "Campus Outreach," allows for uploading letters of recommendation and the "Why Southwest" essay, etc.,  and has shown up a couple of times and been absent a few others. It's not just that particular section either. The current status of my profile isn't reflecting the "Work Experience" section (which was once there) and again, the "Campus Outreach" section, which I would like to access in order to upload my letters of recommendation and essay.

Just thought I would touch base with you to see if what I'm experiencing is possibly the result of something I'm doing or not doing.

Thanks,

Bandy

Hello!

I was wondering when the next ELDP posting will be for External Candidates? Will there be any more chances to apply for the January Program? Thanks!

Hi Cliff,

I'm not sure when the next ELDP posting will be, and I believe the open window for applying for the January program started on August 7th and ended August 14th. I'm also not sure if there will be a future opportunity to apply for the program that begins next January but will let you know if I hear of anything.

I do wish you the best of luck though in your endeavor to be a part of the Southwest team.
