I received the letter Saturday afternoon. I had a few weeks to prepare myself for it (no references called) but still was hoping for a miracle. Congratulations to the people that got the job, good luck to the rest. Never give up on a dream.

Getting the Second Chance

I know how some of you feel getting the letter. I got mine in 2004. It is like a fist in the gut.uke: But, I hope, we all learn from it and try again.

I want a second interview and it has been over a year and a half.

Anyone that got a second interview: Was there anything significant that occured prior to you getting a second shot?

Anyone that got the letter: What do you think you did or said that caused the result?

I think I know what I did and said that killed my chances. I can only hope that I have learned from it and get a second chance to show who I am.

I know on this thread the following will go over like turd in a punch bowl but here goes, there are other airlines out there. Obviously SWA is a good airline, but its not the end all.

Still waiting, too...........

 

[elcid]

If you still haven't heard anything I'd definitely call the people department at this point. You've waited long enough. Someone may have dropped the ball somewhere.

If you don't have the letter, then it is not over yet!

Anybody still waiting for the letter?

I interviewed in Sept 2005 and my packet went to the Review Board in Oct 05. I checked this message board for a week after the last "I got the letter" posting and had not received the call or the letter. At that point I broke down and called the PD and they said that the Board requested more information and thay I would have to go through the Review Board again in November. The PD also said that I was one of four people that the Board requested additional information, so a I was not alone in my wait for an answer.

Even though it was agony to endure the wait/check the message board cycle all over again, it was comforting to know that I was still in the game until the point I actually received the letter.

I am happy to report that in the end, I received the call to continue after the November Board, and I am now in the very shallow end of the pool waiting to go to class.

Just remember, it is not over until you get the Letter!!

For those who have not received the letter or a phone call, I would definitely contact the People Department and "inquire about the status of your interview."

If they tell you that you did not make the cut, still be very enthusiastic and reiterate your desire to work for SWA.

If they tell you they need more information, be very helpful and offer to provide them answers to any questions or retrieve any documentation they might need.

Attitude will be everything in this call!

 

[airmasn]

anyone know how long after an interview takes place that references start being called?

 

[170B]

Interviewed 16 Jan.

First two refs called 23 Jan.

 

[airmasn]

do you think that's a good sign or do they just check references for all interviewees and decide who to keep later?

 

[Falconjet]

Its not a bad sign.

That is real odd. Must want to be on the ground floor with one of the best. Years from now they'll be looking real nice with 3000 bodies below them on the seniority.

Come in, Over.


I would proceed to my alternate, but my future is parked at SWA.


Seriously though, I am going to the DFW job fair, I just hope SWA calls first.
