******I am trying to get together a christmas list early for my kids but i am stuck, I need opinion's on the new leap pad 2 and the inno tab 2 for my 3 year old daughter,which one is worth the money?
****** I have a 7 year old son who wants a tablet but i don't want to spend that much money on it do any one know of any inexpensive kid friendly ones?
******and i have seen 2 walking baby dolls (baby alive) and my baby walk and giggle doll which one is decent you think?
and last but not least the my baby alive doll i heard that if you don't clean it, it will collect maggots, then i heard its because the kids put real food in the dolls mouth.
PLEASE HELP ME ASAP.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Answer
My son absolutely loves the new creativity app on the leap pad 2. It basically lets you create animated stories. You get to pick the background, props, and characters. You can add movement and action, and a dialog. You can use the camera to replace the face of the characters with a photo. We're both very happy with the purchase.
This tablet may not be out yet, but it seems like a good alternative to those expensive tablets. And it'll be conveniently sold at Toys R Us: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/10/tabeo-toys-r-us-tablet_n_1870597.html
As for the baby dolls, I think maintenance and sanitation is always important, especially if there's some sort of "food" involved. No maggots if you don't neglect, right? I think the baby alive would be most suitable: it looks less creepy.
Does Babies R Us Tell You That They'll Call Back After An Interview Or Do They Hire You On The Spot?
ILoveRavio
Okay...so I had a group interview at Babies R Us. I came in an hour and a half early. After the group interview, two candidates were sent home and four of us remained. I was amongst the four who had the 1:1 interview with the manager. This was part two of the interview (made it to the big leagues). They told me that they may call me after two days (48 hours) after the date of the interview or I could call back to check the status of my application. Does this mean that I am hired? Would they have hired me on the spot if they were interested or is this how the hiring process is? Anyone with any prior experiences?
Answer
Below are a few interview experiences shared by applicatants who applied at Babies R US. Good Luck !!!
Sales Associate Babies ''R'' - InterviewbSan Francisco, CA (Jul 2012 took 3 days)
Before I start, I just want to add that this is a newly built location. It's still in the process of being built so my interview may be different from many others. I applied online then a day after I received an email stating that they had no positions available for me. 2 days after that email, I received a phone call for an interview. Like many others on here, I researched this site.
When I got there, I was expecting a group interview but instead I got a 1:1 interview with the manager. He asked 3 questions, none of them being difficult what so ever. First question was to introduce myself. Next question, he as what I did in my previous job. Third, he asked my availability. Afterwards, he did all the talking. He explained to me about their goals as a company. He talked about the sales associates job, etc.
3 days later, I got a call and I was hired.
Interview Questions
What did you do in your previous job?
Cashier at Babies ''R'' Us-Interviewed in Fresno, CA (Dec 2011 - took 1 week)
I interview for Babies R Us in December 2011. I was contacted by HR to come in for an interview. Overall I had two interviews. The first interviewer was a shift manager and only took less than 10 minutes. He asked basic questions, such as what I was currently doing (school) and my future plans for after that. He asked about my prior work experience as a cashier, and then asked about my availability. 5 days later I got a call to come in for a second interview with the store manager. He asked the same questions, along with a couple scenario ones. I was offered the job on the spot.
Interview Questions
If a customer came up to you and asked for your help, but at the same time you got a call to come to the register because it was busy, and you saw a kid spill something on the floor, what order would you put these in as most important?
Describe a time when you did something that ended out not working your way.?
Cashier and Sales Associate at Babies ''R'' Us-Austin, TX (Oct 2011 - took 3 days)
I applied, they called me back for a group interview. It was at 7am before the store opened and only 3 of the 5 scheduled actually showed up.
We first told our names and favorite cartoon character.
Then we were asked to make a toy out of mega blocks as a team and then market it back to the panel of managers. Halfway through, they "recalled" all the yellow blocks and we had to rebuild without them. The trick on this one is they dump out a certain number of blocks for you to work with, but never say you can't go back to the bin they came from and grab more.
Then we did and individual interview with the panel where they asked what game system I would recommend for a 4 year old boy. I answer 3DS which was new at the time and they LOVED my answer because it's portable, has lots of games and makes them lots of money when they sell it.
They called me back a couple days later and I was hired.
Interview Questions
Your name and favorite cartoon character?.
They dump out a pile of mega blocks and tell you, as a team, to build a toy and then come up with how it's powered, what it does, the age range and the price for it. The time limit is 5 minutes.Halfway through, they come and "recall" one color of block and you're forced to start over.
