      Sales Associate Interview

      Jun 15, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear in Jun 2016

      Interview

      The first interview was a group interview on a Tuesday which was fun. Then that day they asked me to take a computer personality test which was fun. Then I was asked to come back for a second interview the very next day.The second interview was good they were very nice. I was then called the next Monday thinking that it was a call to let me know if I got the job or not. But it was actually a call to ask me to come back for a 3rd interview on Wednesday of that week. A week later and they did not call back so I called them to check on my application status. The first time I called the person who interviewed me was on lunch so I was told to call in 45 minutes. I called again 50 minutes later and was told that the person was then in a meeting. I was then told that the person PROMISED to call me back the next day. But they didn't. All in all I think that it was fun but way too intricate for build a bear. 3 interviews and no job offer??? Not even a call to let me know I didn't get the job?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Fairfax, VA)

      Interview

      Standard interview process, only I feel like they told me too much information about current employees, and to not even give me the second interview they said they would reach out to me for.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Stratford, London, England)

      Interview

      Group Interview with around 14-20 young girls, very awkward. Had to do group activities, was given hints that I’d get a call back and heard nothing from them. Also the first thing we were asked to do was SING our favourite karaoke song which was very awkward and some good candidates lost points because of that alone,

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Greenville, SC) in May 2025

      Interview

      Started with one of the 2 managers asking general questions to gauge personality, likability, individual traits/characteristics/habits, and the way you interact with others. 2nd portion of interview was an online assessment with basic questions to make sure you are not a criminal or morally incapable of taking up the position. 3rd portion was the other manager asking more about your passions/hobbies/personal background, and then discussing availability, wage expectations, dress code, etc. The whole interview lasted around 45 minutes.
