I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (San Francisco, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Invited to SFO for group info session. Mingled with other candidates. Presentation was given maybe fifteen minutes max and a question answering session. One by one we are pulled out and put into a room solo with only one recruiter or put in a room full of cubicles where you were interviewed with 3:1. My guess is a good 15 minute maximum interview initially. It is very hard to say what United is currently looking for at the moment, in my opinion it may possibly be fresh faces to the aviation business with no experience. You are either escorted out of the building after or asked to wait in the lobby. Supposedly there is no rounds of interviews at least what we had been told. Just remain positive...and note if you do leave early it is very simple to change your flight to an earlier time. It was a good experience over all.
the face to face live video interview with a HR personnel. I collected all possible questions from reddit to glassdoor and formulate my answers and thought they're going to ask the same questions but they didn't. The HR kind of tell that I have a ready made answers so she stirred the interview differently so my answer will be organic. Thankfully I passed this 30 minute interview. The interviewer did not look interested because she is multi-tasking but best believe she is listening to your answers.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a co-worker you had to work with but didn't get along with?
I’m heading to the F2F interview in TX. Every step so far has not been difficult for me. I also have no prior knowledge in being a FA. The hardest part so far is probably just the nerves and anxiety. Just prep well, do some research, have some basic questions and answer prepared so that even if they ask a different question you can possibly use one of the scenarios of another question and tailor it to the new one.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a commitment to someone that turned out to be harder than you thought?
I conducted my online assessment with questions about company policy, seating charts and customer requests with what is allowed and what isn't. I took my time with every question and reviewed it twice before submitted and now I'am invited to the virtual interview.
