General Application

At Chicago Music Exchange, music is at the heart of everything we do. We’re looking for people who are passionate about music and eager to make an impact. If you're someone who can help us expand our eCommerce business, enhance our world-class in-store shopping experience, or help us run things backstage, we'd love to hear from you!  We encourage candidates from all backgrounds and life experiences to bring their unique perspectives to our team.

We value individuals who take pride in their work, and understand the importance of building relationships—whether it’s with our customers, our team, or the musical community both in Chicago and around the world! From helping a beginner buy their first guitar or a bonafide rockstar find their next vintage piece, we strive to leave a lasting impression on every customer on their musical journey.

If you love music, and are ready to turn your passion into a fulfilling career, let’s get the conversation started. In lieu of a cover letter we have a few questions at the end of this application to gauge your interests and experience. Please let us know what you are looking for in a job, where you think you may be a good fit, and any thing else we should know about you that makes you stand out! We review applications on a rolling basis and we will reach out if there might be a good fit for you in our band!
