I've spent the past 45 mins trying to apply and Southwest's careers site keeps either loading pages super slow and giving me "502 Bad Gateway" errors while trying to load. This is really eating into the small window of time to apply. Maybe Southwest's servers are being hit too hard by too many people at once. If so, I think you all should provide us with an extension to apply because this is going to take forever. Hopefully I can still make the window to apply 😕

From one applicant to another, just keep trying! I ran into the same issues, but just kept refreshing my browser and it eventually worked. Keep trying, and you’ll get it. Good luck!

I’ve been refreshing the same page upon errors and it keeps shutting me out with a service unavailable. How many times will the answer be refresh the page without a real solution here

The website is refusing to proceed past step 3.  I've been trying since 1PM CDT nonstop and still nothing promising.  The frustrating cycle goes:

 

1. Select Sex and Race.

2. Error.

3. Server is unavailable (page with the smiling lady).

4. Page refreshes automatically after a few minutes.

5. Have to retry filling-out step 3 OR instead sent back to the dashboard and have to click continue application again.

6. Repeat.

 

Hope that this is resolved ASAP.  This is an opportunity I do not want to miss, and given the short application window the faulty servers seem extra counterintuitive to a smooth and successful application process for everyone.

I have been trying to log in since 1:10 CST. It's taking 50 mins to get passed the 502 gateway error message. To finally being able to add Resume, It hangs while trying to load on the page "Choose your path". then freezes with "Jobs based on your Southwest Careers interests and searches:" I have taken many screen shots to show that the website doesn't work properly. My guess is that it can not with stand all the traffic of applications. Very disheartening to experience this on this companies website.

Same. I started at 1:00pm. Already had my resume uploaded. I keep getting to various points in the process before it gives me an error, but still cannot get through. I am refreshing and just keep trying. If it’s meant to be…
