Skills must include:
-setups of electric and acoustic guitars
-electronics (pickup installs, full rewire, acoustic pickup install with balanced output, etc)
-people (communication) abilities
Other bonuses would include computer skills, the ability the continue to learn, and a willingness to learn the Plek software.
Pay is 60% of all jobs done not related to the Plek, plus specific numbers for jobs associated with the Plek (i.e. prepping a guitar with a nut blank for the Plek, or finishing off the nut by rounding the corners and buffing it out), which equates to $35-100+/hour depending on how quick you work.
Dependable transportation is a must. Applicants are lightly trained during a 2-3 day trial period where the pay is 50% of each job where detailed instruction is applied. This period is used to gauge competency, willingness to learn new steps, ease of following directions, hygiene, people skills, and a general good fit for the shop. Due to many applicants, a trial period decision isn't made sometimes for a few weeks.
Please include:
*a resume with at least two references
*a list of the jobs you're very comfortable with
*a list of jobs you've done a few times but could brush up on
*a general list of your tools
*any shots you'd like to include (before and after jobs, a shot of your current bench the way it looks now, etc)
