The American Airlines Application Process

For the sake of this application guide, we applied for a position as an accountant. Your application experience may vary a little bit depending on the type of job that you're applying for.

Before you can begin the American Airlines application, you will need to create an account on their hiring website. Creating an account will only take a minute of your time -- you simply need to provide a username, password, and your email address.

Once your account is created, you will have the opportunity to upload your resume. Uploading your resume is optional at this point, but it can help you complete your application more quickly. American Airlines will read through your resume, and use it to fill in many of the application fields for you. If you prefer, you can decline to upload your resume and instead fill out all the application fields yourself. It's totally up to you.

Next, you will need to provide some basic personal information including your name, address, phone number, work experience, education, and certifications.

With your personal information entered, it's time to take a questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask you a series of questions about your age, work experience, language, computer proficiency, and your ability to perform job-specific tasks. Read each question carefully, and answer honestly.

After you complete the questionnaire, you will have the opportunity to attach your cover letter and resume. While providing these files is not technically required by their application system, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunity to provide them. Without these files, American Airlines will have a very hard time determining if you are a candidate that they would like to bring in for an interview. As always, make sure to customize your resume and cover letter for the position to which you're applying.

Drug test

American Airlines prides itself in its drug-free work environment. Any employment offer that you receive will be contingent upon passing a pre-employment drug test.
