SWA 2nd time

[JetFumes]

I know that this probably somewhere on this board, but what is the success rate of those who interview for SWA the second time. I have an interview in May (#2), and am just curious. I'm not sure what went wrong the first time but I'll make sure that I go in prepared.

Upwards of 70% from what I've been told.

When you are talking to the interviewers make sure they know that it is your second time and you are glad to have another chance. When I told them, they made it look like they did not know it was my second time. They said they would make a note on the paperwork. Just go in and be yourself and have story ideas not the words. You will be more relaxed because you have done the process once so you know what to expect. Good luck

2nd Time

Jet fumes..Go Get em'. Nothin but the best of luck to you. You are in a majority this time not a minority. I am hoping for a 2nd interview when my year is up in September. You are there May 2, that is what I hear can be the hard part just getting that second interview....you are over the hill and lookin down. I hope all the 2nd timers give ya the advice your looking for. Good Luck!




How long after the year is up did it take to hear from them for the 2nd?

My year is up in May and can't wait for the second chance. I do know people who waited more than a year for their second chance (2 year wait from first interview) so I don't know if I should get my hopes up for anytime soon.

Keeping the fingers crossed though.

Hey JetFumes, How long did you have to wait for the second invitation?

 

[JetFumes]

Thanks for all of the replies, guys/gals. I was at about the 19 month mark, my first interview was late August of 05, hope this helps.

I was just back in DAL for training and as I was looking through the "I love me" cases on the walls I was delighted to find one that had a rejection letter on one side and a hired letter on the other. There is hope!

Is it true that the computer automatically selects those for the interview based upon the last flight, pic, last app updated date..........

I have a good friend who just got hired on his second attempt and is in the pool right now. He waited about 18 months or so to get the call. He had references called the first time, but didn't get it. He used the same interview prep I did for his second interview, Aaron aka Albie with Emerald Coast. Can't recommend him enough. Good luck to you!
