Hi Cynthia

    As a recent graduate myself I can certainly relate to your question-
    I simply took note of the jewelers in my area as I passed their
    stores and took a chance by calling one and simply admitting that I
    was a graduating student from Arizona State University and asked if
    he might need a bench worker/finisher or  just an extra hand around
    the studio.  After careful consideration he offered me a decent
    hourly wage and commission upon sales of his work through a local
    venue.  I was happy to be in my field -  upon working for him he was
    able to introduce me to other resources such as the local jewelry
    supply store owners who intern offered me a position in retail
    selling jewelry supplies.  So whether it was simply luck or taking a
    chance at putting myself out there it has paid off so keep looking,
    take chances and introduce yourself to as many jewelers as can! 

Good Luck,
