    Hello to all, I am new to this forum and very excited to be able to
    receive some of your input. For the past 6 months we have been in
    search of a jeweler that we could employ at our repair shop. We have
    placed several ads in local sites as well as at the GIA and Paris
    school of jewelry, to no avail. In that time frame about 6
    individuals responded to the job, out of those only 1 could possibly
    do the job but in the end he decided to stay with his employer given
    that he would have to relocate to come work for us. 

    Does anyone know of a place where I could either list my job of find
    qualified jewelers? We are looking just for a person that can
    actually work in jewelry. Nothing too incredible, just basic tasks
    with knowled ge in most metals and attention to detail. Are we asking
    for too much? Is it right for individuals to ask 20-30 dollars an
    hour to not even be able to do a simple silver repair? Are we so
    antiquated as to actually expect quality work from them? 

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
