Hey @Mskims1. Yes, I think most of us got that email. I am no longer under consideration. Good luck to you. ... View more

Hi @TJack! Yes! I'm in the same situation. The process really could be better. The hiring Team has a list of email addresses for everyone that applies for a particular job requisition, a DG (Distribution Group). You'd think they could send a single generic email to the group once every week, or every two weeks, or once a month. Something to just say hello, you are still in consideration, maybe some kind of update. We've processed X number of applications, we still have X number to process, X class has been filled, but we have X number of classes remaining. I see people "In Process" for four, five, six months just to sign in one random day to see "Closed/Complete" with zero communication at all for the entire month after month wait. The hiring experience really could be better. Room to improve. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

@SusanF95, Thank you so much for the kind words. I luv helping people and sharing knowledge and expertise through channels such as this Community. Maybe I should be a Customer Support Representative, haha. If only it was that easy. I've applied, but still patiently waiting, there must just be tons and tons of amazing, fantastic and great people ahead of me. Good luck to you. Have a great evening! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Thanks @SHaRK72! The positivity and good vibes you spread makes one feel good! It's contagious, haha, makes me want to help others and spread the LUV. I see that you have a CJO. Congratulations! You'll fit right in and "Rock that headset with a smile in your voice!" credit to Adam Scott, SWA Recruiter. Good luck to you! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Good Morning @SHaRK72! I Luv your analysis, very thorough. I hope you are correct. I'm very confident that if my application is looked at, I have a great chance of an interview. If I am fortunate enough to get an interview, I know I will Kick Tail. I have been to those Teams Meetings also, "Career Connections," every one for the last 7 or 9 weeks, haha. Good luck to you. I hope you are successful. Thanks again and have a great day! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @SHaRK72! I appreciate your positivity. So Awesome! I am a retired SWA employee and also an "In Process" CS&S Candidate. I don't believe I have a favorable time stamp (12:30 Central on 6/20). Are you confident all 27,000 applications will be reviewed? I am hopeful, but that surely is a tall order. Thanks for the input. Have a great evening! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

@LauraS You are not alone. I've seen others are having the same problem as you, I've seen that on other posts. It seems some applications didn't transfer over. Hang in there. Hopefully it's a known problem that will be resolved or someone else  here can help or has another suggestion. This is what I see when I log in. Hoping you get it resolved.    ... View more

@LauraS I'll attach the link to the log in as a reply to this, just to be sure. However, the system usually deletes links to prevent spam. If it's not there, that's probably what happened. Definitely use the email address you used for your application. Maybe try entering the email address and reseting the password? I do remember that the email you mentioned earlier did say something about needing the original email from when your application was submitted to create an account. I have had issues attempting to upload my resume. I have tried several times and every time it creates a new account even though I'm entering the same email address. The system definitely is not perfect. Good luck! ... View more

Hi @LauraS! Go to Southwest Careers and then click the menu on the top left. Then go to Candidate Home. Hope that helps!  💙💛❤️  ... View more

Hi @ebony. Yes, but don't give up. Many candidates have applied and interviewed several times before they got hired at SWA. Keep at it. There are plenty of great jobs that come up. You can sign up for job alerts so you don't miss anything. Good luck to you. ... View more

@Laylazidane if you are "In Process" you are good. You are most likely just waiting for your application to be reviewed. If an application was lost it wouldn't show up on your home page. Have a great evening! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @TJack. You can log in by going to Southwest Careers and then click on Candidate Home. Hope this helps. 💙💛❤️           ... View more

@Xmkmam82 @Laylazidane Hello! My application was submitted, but my resume was "not accepted." I was able to apply by typing the information into the system, but the system had crashed because of the overwhelming demand and would not let me upload my resume.   The email about the new system is a little behind. It was also sent out to everyone that is on that particular mailing list. I applied June 20th and that system was already up and running. If you go to Southwest Careers and then click on Candidate Home, that is the "new" system (workday). When I sign in there, it says "In Process" which means I am still a candidate and they most likely haven't got to my application yet.   Good luck to the both of you and to all the great Candidates. 💙💛❤️ ...

Hi @Laylazidane. Once you get the call screen email you should receive contact information. Before then, it's very difficult to try and get in contact. Even after your call screen, communication is difficult to initiate because the recruiters are so busy with so many candidates to process and with all different aspects of the hiring process. They will get in contact with you when there is any information to relay (you can't call and find out what number you are or what number they are currently processing, but would be nice).  If you haven't heard anything it's because there is no information available for us. As long as you are "In Process" you are still a candidate. Applications are processed in the order they were received, so if you haven't heard anything yet, it's because they haven't got to you yet. I am in the same situation, I know it's difficult to keep waiting for so long, but hang in there. If we are fortunate enough, they will get to us. Seems the single most important thing in this hiring process is to get your application in first. Good luck to you! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @Laylazidane. I commented on your other post. In addition to information shared here, there is a page on facebook called SWA CS&S Candidates where people share their status. Also, Career Connections on Tuesday provides alot of information. You can sign up on the Events tab at Southwest Careers. Hope that helps. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @Laylazidane! You are not alone. I am a CS&S Candidate from Texas. I have employee referrals, employee recommendation letters and am a retired SWA employee. I've heard nothing back either, no communication. I am "In Process" on SWA Careers Candidate Home. My application finally submitted at around 12:30 Central Time on June 20th. The system would not accept my resume, I had to manually type my information in. Keep in mind, there are also classes in October and November. Hopefully they are still looking at applications for those classes. Good luck to you. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hello everyone. I know that candidates in Texas that submitted applications around 9:30 am received call screen invite emails today. I hope that helps. Good luck everyone! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Well @desmondrl, I found out that Candidates in Texas with 09:30 timestamps are receiving emails for call screens today. Making progress. Unfortunately my application wouldn't push through until 12:30. Sounds like I have a long way to go. I don't know what I could have done differently with the system crashes. If it's meant to be it will be. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @desmondrl! Thank you so much for your great detective work and determination. I was able to send a couple private messages! Thanks again. You are the best! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @BNCampbell. I was told yesterday that this email was ONLY sent to active employees. I was told it was not sent to Candidates through Careers or through workday or anything like that. If you received it maybe a SW Employee forwarded it? The email is not an indication of any of us not getting the job. Hope that helps. Have a great day. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @Jamile94. I tried to post the link to Career Connections for you here, but my reply disappeared. I also tried to private message you, but it appears we cannot send links. I understand that they probably are trying to prevent spam. Are you on the facebook CS&S Candidates page? I could post it there for you, or please message me if I can send it to you another way. As far as the email about hiring from Southwest, I was told yesterday that ONLY active employees were sent that and it was not sent out to Candidate through Careers. Hope this helps. Have a great day ! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

@Redruss91, congratulations! Welcome onboard. Maybe that's why you received the email? Maybe because you now are effectively a current employee?   Are you absolutely certain that everyone who's registered in workday was sent the email? Several of us that are in workday and are candidates are now in a panic because we aren't receiving communications, haha. 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @Leroy22! Do you happen to know if Southwest will be doing the same thing for CS&S Candidates who were unable to upload their resume (it seems like it's most everyone)? Also has anyone heard of any other glitches with email communication? Some candidates are receiving email communication on a regular basis as some of the other "In Process" Candidates for R-2022-13 are receiving nothing. We've double and triple checked that our email is correct in the system. Thanks! Have a great day! 💙💛❤️ ... View more

Hi @Redruss91. Are you a current employee? I am registered in workday and I am a current candidate for CS&S, but did not receive that email. I haven't received ANY communication since the "Thank you for applying, we've received your application."  Now I have the concern that there is some kind of glitch in the system and I am not receiving communication. I hope I haven't been contacted for a call screen and the recruiters think I haven't responded.  ... View more

Hi @BNCampbell! I didn't receive that email, but I am very well aware of it. It's been posted on several chat groups that I'm active and involved in. It's just a generic email sent to all employees and is not specific to the CS&S candidates. Are you a current employee? Hang in there. Good luck to you.   Are there any CS&S Candidates that did receive this email (that are not current employees)?   Hello @Jamile94! Hope you're doing well. We've had many interactions here. I did not receive that email either which brings the concern that some of us aren't receiving communications. I am also still "In Process" also and like yourself, I haven't received any communication since the "Thank you for applying" email. I've signed up for email and text alerts, but haven't received anything new in the last six weeks. I've even gone back and checked that my email and phone number ten times or so, haha. I've checked spam and junk folders, etc. So, stay strong and keep those spirits up. Good luck to you. ... View more
