Congratulations on moving forward in the hiring process. My advice to you is “be yourself “ and remember the reasons why you chose SWA to work for. It’s okay to pause and think about your answers to the questions before you respond. Also, make sure you have some great questions to ask the recruiters at the end of the interview.    Good luck and check back in on how it went.  ... View more

@Natalielang it goes without saying that the hiring process is very long. Imagine thousands of applicants for one department in the Company, and not to mention the thousands of other applicants for all of the other departments. The recruiters role with reviewing applications and looking for the right fit is super important and takes time.   I know it’s hard not receiving updates, but if you are interested in the position for all of the right reasons, the amount of time it’s taking to move forward in the process is a drop in the bucket.    Some advice for you...One thing I would never do is question your hopeful future employer on a discussion board regarding their process and the lack of organization because of its size. There are many factors that arise when filling positions, and assumptions only hurt those who are assuming.  ... View more
