Afternoon elite.
Happy birthday bubbs :beer:
Can I ask for some help for my nearly 18 year old DD.
She has a group interview at Build a Bear on Thurs and we've no idea what happens at these? if she gets through, she'll have a one on one interview.
Can anyone advise what she might expect from the group one and how casual should she dress??

Thanks muchly, she'd really love this job

Hi marrbett


In the group interviews I run for apprentices there are a few different things we do:


Interactive presentation about company - look at how candidates get on with each other/do they ask questions/where do they sit in the room (are they hiding at the back!)/how do they build rapport/ are they friendly/ what sort of language do they use when interacting together
Tour of facility - again looking at the candidates showing interest in product and company
Group activity - split them into group and maybe get them to put on a fashion show using selection of items (bin liners, safety pins, etc)
Finish with question & answer session with the managers they will be working with.


With regards to presentation - it is about being appropriate rather than being suited up. Smart skirt/trousers blouse or nice top, clean shoes or boots, brushed hair.


Skirt not too short either! Watching one poor girl trying to do a group activity with a skirt that my mum would describe as being more of a belt was interesting. Masses of make up is a bit off putting as well - again its about being appropriate for the job she is going for.


We usually have lots of staff on hand some of who interact with candidates and some of who are just observing and taking notes. This means we can watch them when they think we aren't and we sometimes see a change in language (it can become quite colourful!)


We all meet afterwards and compare notes to see who gets to come for one to one interview.


Best of luck to your DD


edited to add - make sure her mobile is turned off, we always start the sessions by reminding people to do this and a surprising number of them scramble to switch them off. On one occasion a mobile rang whilst we were issuing the instruction and the poor lad was mortified.

Oh dear. Sounds almost like one of my many Tesco tales! It's alright implementing things to get customers in store but they really should do some staff training first.

Too true

Does anybody know if the Morris 3000 points of Grants whisky is still on. I have looked at the list but with the changeover on Sundays not sure if it is still applicable. Will ask an assistant (if I can find one) but they do not normally know anything anyway, or can`t be bothered. TIA
