      Sales Associate Interview

      29 Dec 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear in Apr 2010

      Interview

      Applied online, called withing a few days from the Full-Time Assistant Manager and set up an interview the following week. First interview was in the store out in the open; answered role play questions and general questions and even talked to a father and 2 year-old daughter who came into the store so the manager could see how I handled it. Yelled across the store to another employee(Hi, I'm Sally, etc) to see if I was shy. Met the Full-time assistant manager that day and one part-time assistant manager. They seemed upbeat and happy to be there. The next day I received a call wanting me to come in for a second group interview with the store manager(I didn't know that at the time). Ended up only me and another girl, we sat at a table outside in the walkway of a mall(not busy and more private at the time). Was asked more questions and talked about different things even more personal thing and then filled out the personality test(which is always a no brainer test). Got a call after the personality test came back saying I passed and then started the week after that!

      Easy interview

      Application

      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,

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.
