So, you've got a passion for jewelry. You want to be around it all day, but don't quite have enough money to buy all of it. What do you do? Obviously, you're motivated and passionate about something, so you try to get a job in the industry. There are many ways to work with jewelry, buying and selling, making, front end, back end, but the easiest way to start is probably sales floor at a jewelry store. In order to be the most professional jewelry store applicant, here are some tips!
Know Your Stuff: I feel that this is a basic tip that should be at the top of every list ever. What kind of inventory does the store where you're applying carry? Know your Four C's of diamonds, of course. What are some popular designers right now?
Show Some Passion: Are you an aspiring jeweler yourself? Let them know. A lot of mom and pop shops struggle to keep skilled jewelers on staff. Show them you'll love your job and you plan to stick around, and they may even help you find training and apprenticeships.
Look the Part: When you look at people who work at jewelry stores, how often are they decked out in gobs of the stuff? If you're lucky enough to land the interview, pick a sparse selection of your favorite pieces and wear those. Quality, not quantity.
So, there's some tips for landing your dream job working at a jewelry store. It may be floor staff at first, but with a little know how-how and some elbow grease, surely you'll be running the show soon!
