Hi everyone, I have a Southwest Destination 225 Cadet Pathway virtual interview coming up. Has anyone here gone through it before? I heard there are two interview stages and some kind of assessment. What kind of questions do they ask and how does the process usually go? Any tips or experience would really help. Thanks!
