The big thing that Southwest is looking for is ATTITUDE. You have to express a desire to work for their company. Read the book "NUTS" and get an idea of company culture. Go on their website and look up their company profile. Know where their domiciles are at, how they plan to grow, and basically how their company operates. The big question to be prepared for is, "Why SWA?" If you can answer that reflecting those stated above, you would have a good chance.

Change career aspirations now.

Run, save yourself. It is too late for us, but you still have time...!

Before reading the book (if you haven't already done so) take 5 minutes to view this short video by one of NUTS' authors, Jackie Freiberg. She captures the spirit of what SWA is looking for so concisely that it really seems simple ... and after 9 years on the Southwest property it's apparent that it really is that simple.
