I agree with @ksbrg. Wait until an offer has been made before you mention your future commitments. As long as you are reasonable with the time off needed, I’m sure this is a non issue.

@Travelbug87 , I have not tested for this role, however I can imagine you will be asked question such as airport codes, simple math questions, and general policies and procedures. Have you searched for this information outside of SWA’s site? Several sites I have seen recommend doing research and knowing this information before your interview.

@BreeArnaud the advantage you now have is you know what to expect. Keep researching the role and think back to the questions you were asked. Keep up the great attitude and don’t give up. The next time you interview, I have a feeling your end result will be different.

I have only worked for a few companies over my career journey, but the structure has always been similar. All have been large corporations that have many levels to the organization. Due to the amount of applicants we receive, it would be impossible for the hiring manager(s) to interview / buy off on everyone. When we have an applicant for a professional role, the hiring manager is more involved. When I was a Recruiting Manager my role was to support the recruiters, handle any concerns that an applicant might bring up, and make sure we were following wage and hour laws. Rarely did I ever interview hourly applicants (which is a large percentage of our workforce) or buy off on the hiring. My company does not have the recruiters as part of the compensation package.. We have a separate department that only handles salary. They are too busy conducting interviews. The recruiters at my company are all HR professionals who are a trusted representative of our brand. Im sure the structure you referred to does take place with smaller businesses, but I’m sure SWA and the amount of applicants they receive, follow somewhat of the same flow as I described.

If you do reach out to SWA, be more specific on what opportunities you are looking for. Those who come across as willing to take any position many times gain the perception of one who is always looking for the next opportunity. Hiring new employees is a financial investment for the company, and should not be taken lightly. If I was the recruiter, I would want to hire someone who has integrity and is genuine with set goals.

According to SWA’s FAQ page: I was unable to apply before the position closed. Is there anything I can do? Unfortunately not. In order to remain consistent in our hiring practices and to be fair to all applicants, we are unable to accept a resume after a position has closed. We accept applications for a specific position, and only when the job listing is active on our Careers page Continue to check careers.southwestair.com for the next posting and/or sign up for a job alert on any job description page.

Generally large companies empower their recruiters to make the decision on employment. After all, they are the subject matter experts who spent the most time with you. Professional roles is the only exception to this. After a few rounds of interviews, usually the hiring manager makes the final decision on who to extend the offer to.

Hey... how did the interview go? Are you still waiting to hear back? Hope all went great.

The initial interview unfortunately is your “make it or break it” time with recruiters. I often think that since many people are not good at interviewing, but awesome in the work place, the interview should not be the decision maker. Continue to be positive, and do your research. When you come in for an interview as the model employee, tables are turned and it’s you who is interviewing the recruiters. They need to convince you on why you should want to work for their company.

I’m not able to pull up your cover letter, so maybe it was taken down? I will tell you that cover letters are still important when applying for a job. Many large companies still expect to see one attached to your resume. Think of the cover letter as the introduction of your story to your potential employer. Make it short and sweet. Good luck to you!

SWA might have placed restrictions on their FA's with helping out... for liability reasons? The attitude that was given is another issue. Sorry about your experience.

@derekc make sure you set aside time before your interview to get in the "zone". Good luck to you!

@KimVanderKley Owning property in AZ is good... but do you have a government issued ID for AZ? If not, that might hinder you.

I would be surprised if they did not cover the cost of parking at their base. When on layover, the crew gets shuttled to their hotel by the airline and is paid per diem the entire time. Why would they not pay for employee parking?
