I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Newark, NJ) in Sep 2016
Interview
The interview process was very fast and a great experience overall. I did a lot of research on glass door and indeed prior to my video interview and f2f. A vast majority of the questions I got asked was on here and then in the interview both recruiters in both interviews asked what I liked and didn't like the most about my previous jobs. My favorite trying about this process was the quick process. Here is my timeline:
Applied online 8/25
Email for video interview 8/26
Completed VI 8/29
9/9 F2F invited (called the same day to schedule)
9/19 F2F interview and CJO on the spot
