I applied in-person. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2018
Interview
Had a group interview which went well, we each had a turn to speak. One on one interview was essentially me being asked roughly three simple questions about info on my CV, and then being put on a computer answering a survey. I felt the survey made tricky situations appear to be black and white, talking in person would give a better grasp on a person's personality and thought process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The big task they asked us to do was to help parents in designing a bear for a child; ie. a child in hospital, a surprise for a little girl, ect.
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.
