Susannah,

    I have been watching the back and forths on this thread and I think
    there is some other problem going on with your interviewing. The
    reasons you are getting from the prospective employers are not the
    real reasons they aren't hiring. Distance to work, suddenly not
    hiring (after interviewing) this year, etc. are the reasons they are
    telling you but there is something else going on that is turning them
    off to you. Could be that you are a woman (although I have always
    found women bench workers to be as good as or better than most men)
    or it could be that you are a strong woman (in my area this is
    considered a positive, but then I'm in one of those states where we
    believe in true equality) or it could be some way that you are
    coming across in the interview. Perhaps that you know so much is not
    something you should be laying out there as it is often scary for
    someone who has gotten by over the years without knowing too much
    (which is the case with an awful lot of traditional jewelers). It can
    be considered a threat to them in some ways. Or perhaps you interview
    really badly. I can't tell you since I'm not there and I haven't
    talked to you but I think you might want to talk to someone who can
    coach you in the interview process (there are people out there who do
    just that). In the meanwhile there is always trade work, but I would
    see if you could get some help and then keep looking for a job.
