Offer from Guitar Center...
So I've been loothing for about 16 years now and have been in business for about 2-1/2 years. I've been building up my business organically and getting my name out as best I can. The other day I was contacted by someone who works at Guitar Center who I've spoken with once or twice before unrelated to guitar repair, and I got this email:
"Hello David, I’m contacting you because your name has come up when I’ve been asking around for a qualified guitar tech. The guitar center in Johnson city currently has an opening. Looking at your work seems that you’d be more than qualified. Stop by or give me a call anytime if you’d like to discuss this further. Have a wonderful day!"
This is an interesting occurrence, but I haven't really wrapped my head around it. I feel that in part of because of where I'm located regionally, and also the fact that I'm a relatively new business, the customers that I get are not as consistent as I'd like. While I quite like the idea of having a more stable and consistent income that would perhaps come from working as a tech at GC, I feel like there would be a conflict of interest here. Also, I'm not exactly the employee type which I'm sure is relatable.
I suppose I'm looking for wisdom here. Have any of you worked at a GC or a guitar store? How was it? I'm planning on having a call tomorrow to get further details but I'd like to be somewhat prepared beforehand. Thanks guys!
-David
