I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Guitar Center (Cincinnati, OH) in June 2015
Interview
I sat in an office and talked for an hour and a half about music, guitars, and my experience as a musician with the top 2 managers. It was relaxed. I dressed to impress and it was appreciated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Guitar center? (typical)
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.
