KiOgon Posted October 5, 2011 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
wesfinn Posted October 5, 2011 Author 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. Quote

It's always good to have someone 'on the inside'. And rather nice of GAK to remember us. Building bridges and all that. Quote

EdwardHimself Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I would so totally do it if i lived near brighton and was interested in working in a shop. Quote
joe_bass Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 I'd be right on this if it was part time. Quote
Axebassmurderer Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Is it Graham who's left? I bought some serious gear off him this year, nice guy. My CV's in!! Quote

[/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
