Hello everyone! I have a question that I hope someone can answer. But first, let me give you a little background before the question.

I had an interview for a flight attendant position at Newark Liberty International Airport a few days ago. There was 16 of us at the interview. Before the interview process officially began, we had a recruiter talk to us about the job of a flight attendant and the interview process before we had to do a group activity and individual interviews. The recruiter had told us that after our individual interviews we had to wait in the lobby until an escort took us back to the airport.

So like the recruiter said we had our individual interviews and then waited in the lobby. While I was in the lobby I talked to two other people about our interviews. I told them that the interviewer told me I would be contacted by e-mail in 5-7 days. They told me the interviewer told them they'd be contacted by e-mail later. One person was told two weeks, the other person was told four weeks.

I guess my question is: What does this all mean? Does it mean no one is being hired because no one had a second interview that day? Or am I not supposed to know about the second interview? Are second interviews supposed to be "secret" to a select few? Also, why was I told 5-7 days when the others were told two weeks and four weeks?

I would appeciate any insight any of you have!

I hope I am not hurting your feelings.But I believed you and those people being asked to wait for the emails did not get invited for the training.

The second interview is after they cleaned up those who did not pass the first interview.So is the final interview.Those who did not pass the second and third interview will also receive the THANK YOU FOR COMING email within a week.

The final interview is on the same day.Whoever passed the final one will get the WELCOME PACKAGE with instructions.

No matter it is 5-7 days,two weeks or 4 weeks,the result is the same.Just like the
email says:Thank you for coming and please feel fee to re-apply after 6 months.

Should you have any question,please feel free to ask.
 
Thank you all for responding. It clears a lot of things up. I only wish that the recruiter had told us from the beginning that there was a second interview because then at least I would know right away that I didn't get it, you know? Oh well. I mean are the second interviews supposed to be secret? Did the recruiters tell you all from the beginnig that there'd be another interview?

Thank you all for everything!

Hello

I have had interviews with airlines so many many times,therefore I knew that there was going to be a second interview.But Continental never told me that there was going to be a second one after it.They only asked me not to say anything and wait for a little bit.After I passed the second one,I then waited again for the third one and then received my welcome package there.

Was it your first time having interview with airlines?
If so,please dont feel bad,because most of people failed for the first time and rarely people get hired with only one interview.
 
Yes it was my first interview with an airline. I guess it's all a bit of a bummer, but I am only 22 so I can try and try again :) It doesn't hurt. Anyway, I can't thank you enough for all the information you have given me. It's made me a little less naive and a whole lot stronger for my next try in six months! I hope to have good news then. Hope all is going well for you!

Always think positive and never give up.
If you feel that this is the job you want just keep trying.

Take care.

Amen to that. I had 3 interviews with CO, 2 with United, 2 with US Airways, and 1 with Delta before getting hired at AA.

Ask 1L1R2L2R how her training goes if SHE makes it!! I heard theres already been three calls to CAL. I guess I could be wrong.. No?
 
I'm not sure what you're implying, but good luck to her. I really don't consider this a wise career move if its for any pretense of security, an easier way to get in if you don't get called is the " back door"- work the ramp and put a transfer in after probation.
 
Seriously....Please consider what you are doing and look at all of your options before you set your heart on working for an airline.....This is not the time to risk EVERYTHING that you own and love for a dream...Save the dream until this industry turns itself around...Just my 2 cents, and nothing against CAL....This industry is and has been doomed for a long time.


What Unity?
