Interview
I filled out an online application and about a week or two later was invited to complete an online interview. The online interview was very nerve-racking as I was only given 30 seconds to compose my thoughts before the recording began, only three minutes to answer, and do-overs were not allowed - you have one chance only to get it right. Once the recording began there was a three minute countdown clock on the screen which also added to the anxiety, but being able to maintain calm and focus when the pressure is on is, after all, one of the primary duties of a flight attendant, so I can understand why AA chose this method of questioning. There were five questions as I recall, but it has been a few months since the interview so I'm having trouble recalling, but I will do my best.
