Group interview. Overall great, but make sure you stand out in the interview or else you will not be asked back. There were about 4 of us in the interview. Afterwards, I moved forward in the process, I had to take a personality test. My advice, always be honest and do the right thing or else you will not be given a job. Only these two steps before hiring!

Other Sales Assistant/Bear Builder Interview Reviews for Build-A-Bear
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

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.
