Mark P.,

    I have to say I got a chuckle out of this.  If it's not one
    extreme, it's another.  GJ grads from GIA have been swung the
    other way on the pendulum in recent years. (At least since the
    move to Carlsbad--I can't vouch for before that, as I don't know
    from my own experience.) 

    I've been told that GJ's are too meticulous, and take too much
    time. The GJ final requires that the test project (resizing and
    setting) be *perfect*., resized, stones set and the whole
    polished to a mirror shine.  No pits, no gaps. 

    So what's the consensus on what makes a good beginner hire?
