I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Music & Arts (Paramus, NJ) in May 2017
Interview
Management reached out post-application, and asked some questions based off interest in the company. After this, we then set up two separate in person interviews with both district manager and direct bosses. I was offered the job about a week or so later.

Question 1
What is your knowledge on brass since you are a woodwind player and vocalist primarily?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Music & Arts (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
Once I filled out an application I got a call. I came in and the interview process was basically just a conversation with the manager and got an offer afterwards.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Music & Arts (Princeton, NJ) in July 2012
Interview
Most of the questions were centered around schedule availability and effectiveness to work with others in a team. If you has been engaged with the company before (whether as someone who has taken lessons there or as a frequent customer) it is definitely a plus. Proficiency with musical instruments does not help you as much as it would for a full-time employees so do not invest a lot of your time explaining how you are skilled in playing i.e. the violin, guitar, flute, etc.
