I understand that waiting for an update after a job interview can be quite stressful. Generally, the time it takes to hear back after a phone screening can vary depending on the company’s hiring process and the number of applicants. For software engineering positions, it’s not uncommon for the entire interview process to take several weeks.

Here are a few steps you can take while waiting for an update:

Follow-Up: If it has been over a week since your phone screening, it’s appropriate to send a polite follow-up email to the recruiter asking for an update on your application status.

Patience: Continue to be patient, as the recruitment process often takes longer than expected, especially with popular and large companies.

Prepare: In the meantime, continue preparing for potential next steps in the interview process, such as technical or behavioral interviews.

Hi, @priyanka 

Thanks for your interest in a career with Southwest Airlines! 

There's not a set amount of time our application/interview process takes. Our Recruiting Team works to review applications in the order received just as quickly as can be, and the interview process takes the coordination of several folks - with the Recruiter, Hiring Leader, and any additional interviewers that should be present. I know the wait can feel like the hardest part, and I assure you our Team will reach out with an update just as soon as one is available. We appreciate your continued patience.

thanks, @adrienneb  for your reply I will patiently wait for the next round.

Hi Adrienne,

I'm an Army veteran with over 21 years of service. I'm also the President of Saltwater Warriors.  We are a 501c3 nonprofit providing free mental health counseling to veterans.

I see Forbes ranked Southwest Airlines in the top 5 for companies hiring and supporting veterans.  I wanted to reach out and ask for your help in linking me up with your corporate responsibility contacts to see if there is an opportunity for collaboration. Saltwater Warriors can provide presentations to your veteran employees, linkage to counseling resources for veterans and a peer group experience on a charter fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our goal is to reduce the stigma a lot of veterans have about seeking mental health counseling.

I would appreciate any help you can provide in pointing me in the right direction. My email is michael@saltwaterwarriors.org.

Thank you,

Michael Burns
