Hey, @Iloveme3 and @hlyngibbs609!
So sorry for the delayed reply, especially as y'all are waiting to hear an update on your application to the Customer Service Agent - Part Time position for Chicago (Midway) - R-2023-36731.
You have our apologies that an update wasn't sent out by the Nov. 22 date outlined! I took a quick look, and our Teams are actively reviewing Candidates. There were over 500 applications submitted, but our Team is dedicated to reviewing and getting back to y'all ASAP this week!

Hey, @jobseeker!
I am *so* sorry it's taken so long to get back to your message - I really appreciate you tagging me!
Looking through your other posts, I'm sorry to learn of the update to your application's status. The Direct College Hire brings some incredible People to Southwest, and we appreciate your involvement with the program!
With those more entry level positions, the competition can be fierce to land the role. My recommendations in those case are to always fine-tune your resume specifically to the job you're applying for, do some research on Southwest and how the role you're applying for impacts our Company Vision, and get your application in ASAP! Often times, we receive more applications than we're able to review. This means that the earlier your application is submitted, the more likely we'll be able to get to it in the initial review process.
That said, I'm so sorry if the communication surrounding your application and status throughout the process was lacking. We work to provide helpful updates often, especially since we know how important that is to our Candidates. If you wouldn't mind providing the email address associated with your application or the requisition number (R-2023-_____), I would love to pass this feedback along to the Team overseeing those DCH applications. I'd be glad to take a closer look at your application then as well, just to see if there's any additional insight I can offer!
Thanks again for your time reaching out & tagging me! Hope you had a great holiday weekend, @jobseeker!

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!

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!

Hey, @sammisetti2!
Thanks so much for pinging me! And for your interest in joining our Technology Teams!
I took a quick look at those roles, and it looks like we did receive quite a bit of interest! Our Recruiters have started to review applications, and they should begin to set up interviews and opportunities to meet Candidates soon. They'll reach out via email with an update, just as soon as one is available!
Checking your application's status in that Candidate Home Profile as you have been is smart & resourceful, and as long as you continue to see "In Process" that means your application is still in the running! I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Hi there, @ozymandi0z!
Thank you so much for reaching out and for your interest in Internships at Southwest! I hope you enjoyed ShellHacks and meeting some of our Team there!
I took a closer look, and for the particular position you applied to, U.S. citizenship or current authorization to work in the U.S. is required & no current or future work authorization sponsorship is available. Due to your answer to the "Do you now or in the future require sponsorship to work in the United States?" question, your application was removed from the process.
I'm so sorry for any confusion or frustration, especially after you spoke with our Team at ShellHacks! We're so appreciative of your interest to explore an Internship with Heart!

Hi there, @Lisakau808!
Thanks so much for reaching out and for your recommendations on communication surrounding the Operations Agent position.
Each Employee's training looks a bit different, especially with so many different stations, Employees, training processes, and operational factors to take into account. That can make outlining the full training and New Hire process a bit difficult!
We have worked to ensure all Candidates know that training and work shifts are at a variety of times, and that those are all dependent on our business and operational needs. We also include the question, "If you are selected for this position, after the initial training period, you will be required to work a variety of shifts assigned including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays and overtime (including shift extensions or full shifts assigned based on seniority). Are you able to work any and all assigned shifts?" in our application process in hopes of better setting expectations about work hours.
Still, I'm sorry if our Team missed the opportunity to spell that out more clearly or get back to your communication in a more timely manner. Your experience, as a Candidate and New Hire, is so important to us, and we'll continue working to grow and improve!

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!

Wishing you both the best of luck!

Hey there, @denroch!
Thanks so much for your interest in a career with Heart!
I took a look at your Candidate Profile, and I see that you've applied to a few opportunities recently, and all of those were pretty competitive positions. For a little additional context, our Recruiters post a position, and then they review applications in the order received. As they're reviewing, they invite Candidates to set up time to chat and discuss the opportunity more. Since we received quite a few applications for these positions (200+ for all of them, and then 300+ for the Sr People Operations Specialist and Team Leader Learning), that makes the application process super competitive.
It looks like you've got some incredible experience and background (thank you so much for all you do as an educator!), and I'd encourage you to keep looking and applying to opportunities that align with your interest and experience! It took me many tries too, but I'm very thankful to say it's worth it - and now I get to connect with interested folks like you!
I'm certainly rooting for you!

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!
