I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Anaheim, CA) in May 2017
Interview
I applied online and received an email one week later to come in for a group interview that was held every Tuesday and Thursday. The interview was pretty easy because it was only me and this other girl. I thought I did well because the manager that interviewed me told me to take a personality quiz and not the other applicant who was there. I thought I did a good job and then I was told they would call me in 2-3 days. I never got called back.
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.
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,

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.
