I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Oklahoma City, OK)
Interview
The interview was very easy and laid back. They interviewed me and another potential employee at the same time in the back of the store together. There weren't very many questions. They get upset if you have commitments on Sundays and regretfully work with you. They hired me in that sitting.
Basic questions, asked about sewing, experience with kids, knowledge on the company, days I’m free ect ect ect ect. Had a brilliant interview and got the job, would work there again if I didn’t move
Group interview and then 1:1 - was simple enough and felt very relaxed. Nice team and then found out about 1 week later. Was a Christmas temp job so was quite a lot of people there and wanting to apply
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Toledo, OH) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview takes 3 rounds: a phone interview, an in person interview where you fill out a survey then complete an interview, and a follow through interview. I was hired on the spot at my follow through, but process could be different.
