I applied July 6th, video interview invite July 15th, Video interview completed July 17th, got an invitation for a face to face on July 26th, flew to Dallas on August 3rd, got my offer August 9th, waiting on a training date. I had such a wonderful experience with American. The recruiters are truly passionate about the company they work for. The run down of the interview day was as everyone posted it. Presentation, group activity (who's who), They'll try to tell you that they change it but it's essentially the same. They will tell you no one will know that day, and that they're going to start calling names to go catch the shuttle, but when they call you, they will either take you to the shuttle, which means they don't want you, or they take you to a new room to get finger printed and a one on one interview, which means unless for some reason you fail your background check, or you bomb your one on one, the job is basically yours. But if you do not get finger printed, you will not be getting an offer. It took 6 days to get my offer, so don't fret if you get finger printed and don't receive your offer immediately. How to get finger printed: Bring an extra copy of your resume, and something to write on/with. It's true what they say, the group activity is really a chance to watch you in a social setting. So you'll want to give input with your group, and be creative. However, if the recruiter is across the room, it doesn't do any good to speak up then. I made sure I was giving input and making comments while the recruiter was right by me. Dress: Red lipstick if you can pull it off. I got complimented by the recruiters. Pearl earrings and necklace. Blue or black blazer and matching knee length skirt. Don't go without panty hose. This is not your time to look like a trendy fashion forward supermodel. Dress like you're going to court. Leave the platform heels at home and just go basic black close toed. Don't wear bright colors in an effort to stand out. Smile the whole time. Even when the lights are off for the slideshow, be grinning because every aspect of information they have to tell you is so exciting. And posture. If your back isn't sore on your flight home, you weren't sitting straight enough. Group interview: I'm going to post questions on here that I haven't seen in other people's reviews yet. I heard the ones that have been posted and was prepared to answer them but a couple people got asked ones that I hadn't yet seen. But as far as all the questions are concerned, for the love of baby Jesus, even if the question doesn't seem like it has to do with customer service, make your answer about customer service. I promise that's what they want. Also, when they ask the whole group "why do you want to be a flight attendant for American?" Do not just tell them why you want to be a flight attendant, talk about why you want to work for this company. As far as taking your turn to answer questions, I was second to answer the second question and then for the card question I let a bunch of people go in front of me so as not to hog the spotlight and seem to eager. I think it worked out perfectly. Answer quickly for one, give other people a chance for the other. If you get a chance to socialize with the recruiters at any point, DO. I asked three of them why THEY think American is the best airline to work for. They love that question. Tattoos: I was prepared to lie, as I was hiding several, but I said I had one, but you don't see it now, and you never ever will. I thought I may have ruined my chances, but here I am with an offer. Bottom line, if you'd rather be honest about your tattoos, make sure you extra reassure them that they will never be seen. I also have one on the side of my finger, and the makeup was coming off when I got finger printed. The guy had to have seen it because he literally had to hold my finger to print it, but he didn't say anything. Also, a flight attendant on my trip home had wrist tattoos that I saw. Lastly: have fun. Make jokes (appropriate). The recruiters want you to do well. This is not a competition, there's no limit as to how many people they can accept each interview. My interview had about 35 people at it and 9 or 10 of us got printed. This was my very first airline interview and I got hired. I was a little intimidated reading that people have interviewed multiple times before they got an offer. But that doesn't mean you won't get it your first time around. I went in with the mindset of "if I want this, I can have it", and I got it. I was nervous as hell but I didn't let it stop me from showing the recruiters that this was where I was meant to be. Just waiting on a drug test and training date now. Good luck, all!
