Selection began with application submission, followed by a questionnaire and video interview, followed by an invitation to a face to face interview which I will describe here. Process began with a lengthy presentation on Allegiant. This is probably very helpful for those that have not been flight attendants or interviewed before, but somewhat redundant for others. With minimal research candidates could have known much of the information prior to arriving. The facilitator, Alex added some humor to the information, which made it more enjoyable. There was a question and answer period that went on far too long. Candidates were asking questions to be noticed rather than things they really wanted answers to. The next phase was a small group interview in a horse shoe arrangement, with two flight attendants asking questions (Alex in the background listening). All candidates recited an announcement, and stated where they wanted to be based, and answered a question about their favorite trip. Situational (very basic) questions were asked which had to be answered with a partner. Then, each candidate was given one Allegiant Value to read and describe how they embrace that value. After this phase some candidates were sent home. The final phase was a one on one interview with an existing flight attendant with STAR type questions. The person that I had was very stoic and not personable. (Maybe they are instructed to be like this?)Something quite embarrassing happened to me during this, and she stared at me blankly (no attempt to show empathy) and I had to excuse myself and come back.Needless to say, I was not selected and found out a couple days later. I found it odd that nothing was visibly done to determine if there was a cultural fit of candidates with Allegiant. This is an airline with no overnights, and my guess is many use it as a entry point to be hired by other airlines that do have overnights. So, it surprises me that they do not target candidates that prefer to be home and prefer the small town clientele, simply for the sake of retention. I also found it odd that no informal mingling with co-workers was done to allow hiring personnel to observe candidates for all around people skills. Genuinely enjoying and caring about people is a hallmark skill of excellent flight attendants, yet this interview had the feel of a score keeping competition of questions about one time situations that don't represent the majority of the tasks of the job. This is a fun job, but not such a fun interview.
