A bear doing a job interview over Skype is not something you see every day.

That is, unless you’re the owner of 300kg Tima, who seems to be in high demand.

This footage, which was taken in Russia last month, shows the bear sitting casually on the sofa while his owner answers questions about his skills and behaviour from a potential employer.

Tima was adopted by a Russian circus artist aged just five months old. The pair have travelled all over the globe, featuring in shows and films.



‘He has amazing qualities. He loves to play, he never shows any aggression, he’s not greedy and he’s great friends with my dog,’ said the owner.

‘We are very fond and proud of him! He is a member of our family!’

Tima’s one fault, his owner says, is that he gets restless during breaks between film shoots and shoots because he likes keeping busy.
