Open positions range from ramp staff to flight attendants and corporate positions, most of them located in Chicago. Interest in these jobs with United appears to be quite high. The company reports that they have measured 4% of their social media conversation organically regarding these jobs.

People who attended the job fair had to wait up to two hours to get in and sit down with a specialist recruiter, see if there is interest, and in some cases proceed to their job interview. As the hours passed, the airline promised to contact each and every one of the participants telling them that the energy to start working is one of the most important factors in this hiring process.
