    I've played with many job site listings over the past 5 years with
    little luck.  Very few jewelry related jobs on the general sites, the
    dedicated jewelry sites are few and far between, and I have found
    often out of date. I got 2 jobs through a jewelry employment agency,
    and neither lasted long. Let us just say that the courtship was
    grand, the honeymoon short, and the reality lousy.  I am now self
    employed, but work in an established retail store.  I came by this
    situation the old fashioned way, looking through newspaper want ads
    in areas I was interested in living.  Part determination, large part
    luck.  Also being prepared to move quickly when you find a lead, in
    terms of having a resume ready to mail, fax, or whatever, and being
    able to get to an interview quickly. 

    Most regional newpapers these days have web sites which will have a
    classified section.  That is how I ended up here.  The search
    engines on most of the general sites (Like Monster.com) are quick
    enough that it is worth checking them out from time to time.  Web
    sites and hard copies of trade magazines are good sources, too.  I
    suppose a lot will depend on your willingness to relocate, unless you
    are already in an area with lots of jewelers. Good luck.
