KiOgon Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think you should add to the list of 'Typical Activities' for any prospective employee; cleaning & maintaining of showroom stock, so they're in a fit state for potential buyers to view/try. Just a personal groan after twice visiting with intent to purchase, only to find basses i was interested in - in an appalling state - on display & a less than interested sales person 'busy' behing the counter. On a brighter note - great job for the right guy! Good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesfinn Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 yes that is part of it all as well. Apologies that you had a bad experience with us. We will hopefully be back on board with basschat advertising soon so we will have a presence and any feedback on the bass dept will be welcome.

It's always good to have someone 'on the inside'. And rather nice of GAK to remember us. Building bridges and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] So not a great job for someone just getting their foot in door of the industry then! Only kidding, it should be very enjoyable and I hope the right person for the job comes forward. I thinking moaning about guitar shop staff makes up about 20% of the total discussion on this site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
