I don't know if it helped, but I did get an invite and am here now. Like I said, do what you can, but it is a tough nut to crack, and some advanced algorithm to get the actual invite for the job. Best of luck, and keep at it.
Well, looks like I've missed the opportunity to do that this year, and I'm not seeing any more job fairs planned for this year.

Where can I find anymore up coming job fair dates, specifically the ones that SWA is attending? I searched the internet, this forum and SWA's website, but I'm not finding anything up coming.


Thanks!

The OBAP annual convention is in Chicago this August. I imagine SWA will be there.

The decision board was today for the week of April 25th interviews. Bunch of guys in my group got the nod. I have not heard anything on my end. Expecting an e-mail tomorrow.

The timeline lately has been 2 weeks from interview to DB for those curious.

Supposedly at the SWAPA newhire dinner today they were asked how many were called short notice by the company. 10 of the 28 raised their hands including one who was called the DAY OF class to see if he/she could be there. So if this is where you want to be (or even if you are using it to pump up your application for your final destination I suppose), stay by the phone!
