I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guitar Center (Lake Forest, CA) in Aug 2014
Interview
It was a very refreshing type of interview, as everyone in the room was coming together from the standpoint of musicians who struggle endlessly to find the perfect tone they are trying to project
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have you handled stressful customer situations in the past
Well thought out interview pretty easy, I thought it went well but didn't get offered a position. I still feel like they are a good company although I heard they changed there commission structure in the past few years.
Simple and to the point. They want to know if you fit into the company culture. They also want to know what your skill set is as far as musical ability. It is very easygoing and relaxed
I interviewed at Guitar Center (North Olmsted, OH)
Interview
Felt like I was being interrogated or discriminated against, as if this were an important career. Dude, you hire high school students. Give me a break. Avoid applying to guitar center.
