Hey, @Bluebeard64!   So sorry for the confusion surrounding your application to the Flight Attendant (R-2023-18425)! I hope you've hear back from our Teams by now, but that email removing you from the process was in error. Because you applied to both the January 2023 and September 2023 Flight Attendant postings, there were some crossed wires happening behind the scenes, but that is all resolved now.  We're excited to meet you soon!  ...

Hey, @chrisdamron!   Thanks so much for reaching out and for your interest in joining our Technology Family! I took a quick look, and your answer to the question "Do you have entry-level experience; developing skills and knowledge in developing, implementing, or integrating technologies for Enterprise security?" is what removed your application from consideration. You indicated "no," and this experience was a requirement. I'm so sorry for any confusion or disappointment!  ... View more

Hi there, @stradera and @cmc1988!    Thank you both for your interest in joining our Southwest Family!  My top recommendations are always to keep your resume updated, tailor your resume to each specific job to highlight your applicable knowledge and experience, and submit your application to a position as soon as possible. Those first two tips, pertaining to resumes and tailoring them to your position of interest, a great rules of thumb for any application. Your resume is your first impression, and you can be sure you're making a good impression this way!   Submitting your application ASAP is important at Southwest because, depending on the position, we may receive many applications. This makes for a competitive process, and getting your application in earlier means we can review it sooner. There are times where we receive more applications than we're able to review, but submitting yours earlier helps to prevent you from falling into that situation.    I'd love to invite you both to attend an episode of Career Connections as well! Career Connections is a webinar hosted by our Careers Team, which covers different topics each week and shares insight into landing a career at Southwest Airlines. We cover things from Southwest's unique Culture, Benefits, how the hiring process can look, and we sometimes feature different workgroups who have upcoming opportunities! Learn more and register here: swa.is/CareerConnections.    Wishing you both the best of luck!  ... View more

Hello Recruiters😊 Is there any possible ways to discuss work schedule hours or an estimated work schedule discussion with applicants BEFORE sending them to first week training? Took me 6 weeks to get to the first training week (i had just missed the montly deadline) and I had asked the interviewer/recruiter about an example of work hours but were told they couldnt tell me. I followed up with them two other times via email about what my work hours "could possibly be' (I live an hour and half away from airport) but was never responded to. When I finally got to training week, the admin team said 4 am start time.  WHOA I sure wish I would have known that prior to accepting job. Because of that early start time I had to sadly leave SWA. I was then told by another co-heart that NO my hours would NOT have been 4 am -shux.  Is there anyway to reapply at SWA ? Thank you so much💟 ... View more

Hey, @lesliesuazo2001!    Go Mean Green! Thanks so much for your interest in an Internship at Southwest!  We do require that Intern Candidates be a minimum Sophomore status, and they may not have an undergraduate graduation date of December 2023 or prior, unless already enrolled in a full-time graduate degree program at time of application. Since your graduation date is so soon (congratulations!), I'm afraid you wouldn't meet the requirements for our Spring 2024 Internships.    Since you'll be soon graduating, you might explore opportunities to start your career at Southwest! Depending on your studies, interests, and experience, we post new positions almost daily that might catch your eye!  ... View more

Hey, @Tatanina!    Thanks so much for reaching out & for your interest in joining the Customer Support & Services (CS&S) Team! I took a closer look, and it looks like we sent you an email on June 30 (around 11:15am) from alerts@recruit.southwestair.com with an update.    To recap that email, our Team has completed interviewing and filling the available spots for our upcoming training classes. We received so much interest and a high volume of applications, and, since we reviewed applications in the order received, we simply weren't able to review all applications this time around. We know this isn't the news you wanted to hear, but don't worry our Team will reach out with information on potential interview dates in the future!  ... View more

Thank you for reaching out, @MiaKalama   We are sorry to learn of your disappointment as a new hire, particularly if you felt that you or your family were not supported. Southwest has a long history of welcoming People of all backgrounds and family status to a career at Southwest Airlines. ​​​​​​​By fostering a Culture that embraces and utilizes our Diversity, we create competitive, yet equitable, advantages in teamwork and innovation that contribute to our overall success.   Southwest’s Purpose is to connect People to what’s important in their lives through friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel. Our People are key to Southwest being on time and ready to serve our Customers. During the interview and onboarding processes, we strive to provide a realistic preview of what each job entails.

We’re sorry to hear if any of these requirements caused difficulties for you. As in many workplaces, as our Employees gain in seniority or are able to transfer to different locations for example, their schedule flexibility and preferences increase.    As we often share with Candidates, working at Southwest is not for the faint of Heart! The work can be challenging, but also rewarding in meeting a Purpose larger than ourselves. ... View more

Sorry for the confusion there!    I took a look, and, because your application did not meet the initial qualification requirements, your application was removed from the process. So, an email with the link to create/login to your Candidate Home wasn't provided, but an email with the update of your application being removed from the process was sent instead.  ... View more

Can’t wait! Dreams are coming true! ... View more

Hi there, @Tung1962!  Our Flight Attendant position isn't currently open for applications. We post that position 1-2 times a year, and we review all Candidates in the order received.

In the meantime, I would recommend signing up for our Talent Community here: https://careers.southwestair.com/jointalentcommunity?applyType=JTC, and be sure you select "Flight Attendants & Inflight Operations" for the Area of interest option! We typically send out notice via email around the time that position is going to post! ... View more

Hey, @Cmckinney!   Thanks so much for your interest in a career with Heart!  I took a quick look, and it doesn't look like we currently have any positions posted for the Los Angeles / Southern California area right now.
