I applied online. I interviewed at Equinox (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
It is primarily a sales position, and not a true management position that involves educating, administration, and supporting new trainers/members. So if you are great at sales and can churn up impressive figures from your past job experiences, they will be all ears. It is not about credentials and work ethic, but about numbers. Otherwise, they will offer a personal trainer position as an alternative to see how you sell and work your way up from there. In essence, they do not wish to pay basic salary to someone they don't think can rake in the big bucks for them.
