I applied online. I interviewed at Guitar Center (Houston, TX) in Dec 2020
Interview
Was contacted by phone about a week after applying online. They asked me questions about my experience in sales/retail and my background in music. After the phone call they scheduled a zoom video call a couple days later with the Store Lead and we talked for about 20 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Guitar Center?
What kind of gear do you own?
Do you have any experience in retail or sales?
What are your 3 biggest strengths?
What is your biggest weakness?
Can you give an example of a time a customer wasn't satisfied and how you were able to resolve the problem?
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.
