    Hello fellow Orchidians, I wondered if any of you would like to offer
    some advice in the job hunting arena. Specifically on the recent
    thread of apprenticing. I have recently moved to London, England
    from Toronto, Canada. After 2 1/2 years  of study in the jewellery
    arts program at George Brown College, I'm thoroughly dedicated to
    the craft, just inexperienced. I had my first gig at the Toronto
    Outdoor Art Show and it went swimmingly, and I'd like to do more
    shows in the future. But first, a job. How does one go about getting
    an apprenticeship these days? Should I just contact the Goldsmiths
    Hall and other local organizations, with resume in hand? Or do I
    simply find someone who's work I admire, and see if they will take
    me on? These may seem to be silly questions, but I think someone out
    there must have had success with it. I can't tell you how useful
    this site has been to me, and appreciate any advice you can give.
    (Many thanks to David Huffman for his thoughts on the subject.) 

Sincerely,
Erin
