I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Oct 2014
Interview
Group interview- very simple I was definitely over-prepared. The first stage consisted of us sitting in a circle where we were each asked one or two standard questions. For the second stage we had to recreate an ad for the company using different objects around the store room. If successful you progressed to the next stage, a personality test, which basically means you've got the job unless you say things like you take drugs or would steal from the company..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just the usual interview questions e.g. "describe a time where you had a challenge and overcame it".
I applied online. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Liverpool, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Really positive process. Once I’d applied, I’d had an interview and been offered the position within a week. Was a group interview. No formal interview questions more fun/group activities as this fits the role.
When I arrived we completed an assessment which took around 15mins. Then we got paired up and had to do a “heart ceremony”. Then we had to pick 3 items and sell it to the group/describe why we picked it.
It was good, went in and did my interview, was a good job at the time. Made kids and adults happy. Had a lot of stock, mostly older bears, had a lot of negative feedback about alot of product being online only
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Anaheim, CA)
Interview
One of the best interviews I have had. It was a group interview, and we all answered fun questions. Because this was in downtown Disney, they really wanted to see how fun and outgoing you can be.
