| Flight Attendant |
The first step was that you went to an "open call" in your city.
An "open call" is when an airline advertises for the flight attendant
position, usually in the Sunday newspaper. Everyone that wants to apply
shows up. They usually only take the first 75 people or so, and
therefore, lots of people get turned away to even get the chance to
apply for the job. At the "open call" I had to speak in front of the
group of what was more important to me; teamwork, customer service or
flexibility. It was impromptu and I came up with something that
integrated all of them. After that, you took a simple "follow the chart"
test and simple math exam. If they liked you, you would get a package in
the mail with a ticket and information to what you had to do when they
flew you out to Chicago for the next interview.
I did not get my package for three months. I went to the interview, and
showed up early. About ten candidates sat in a room and discussed
various important qualities flight attendants must have, while the
evaluators watched on and took notes.
After that, you went to lunch and came back for an one-on-one interview.
There they reviewed your resume, asked you situational questions and
asked if you would relocate. Many people left the interview feeling like
they did well and they were hired when in reality, they were "cut" way
before the one-on-one interview.
If you received a letter saying you were accepted, you then had to go
through a physical with an United doctor, which includes sight, hearing
and cardiovascular tests. If you passed that, then you waited until you
received a training date. The whole process took me a year to complete.
