If you would have asked me five years ago if I thought I’d ever work in the airline industry, I probably would have said no. That’s the beauty of this Company. The mix of talent, skill, and background is what makes Southwest Airlines so appealing; it’s almost difficult not to fit right in. When I began my Southwest career as an Intern, I knew that I had seriously stumbled upon something special. After my internship, I decided I wasn’t ready to leave, and was able to get hired on as a fulltime Employee. I began my journey in the Culture Activities Department where I gained a wealth of Company knowledge, focusing primarily on our internal Customers—our Employees! I’ve now been here for three years; to many Employees, I’m still considered a “newbie”! I now reside in the Communications Department as a Communication Specialist. As part of this integrated Team, I find myself working on a wide range of projects and responsibilities, including: public relations, media relations, internal communication, event planning, social media involvement, corporate social responsibility and Green efforts, along with continuing to stay involved in numerous Culture initiatives.
