I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Vaughan, ON) in Jul 2017
Interview
It was me and this other girl. The interview took place outside of the shop at vaughan mills. Basic interview questions were asked and then proceeded to conduct other interviews with other potential employees on different dates. They said they will call us for a second interview if we meet their criteria and are interested in knowing more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Who is your role model
Who is your favourite author
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,

Question 1
No direct question just how would you sell different campaigns
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.
