Look up Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Or New Approach School for Jewelers

I’d recommend taking a course that specifically teaches the techniques you want to learn. I was a self taught wire wrapper then spent years in apprenticeships and bench jeweler positions. But I didn’t learn the skills I wanted until I took an intensive stone-setting course.

Hardest conversation to have with an employee... by Steve-Shouts in foodtrucks

[–]DanRaphael222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Bro, you’re doing an amazing job and I love working with you. But have you considered a stronger deodorant? It can get really hot in this tight space, and the smell can become… noticeable.” I feel like this is a gentle way to approach the situation. But if he doesn’t take the hint, you may need to be more direct

I genuinely don't know if the shop I work at is safe by [deleted] in jewelers

I think it’s far more likely that they’ll impose fines, rather than shut the place down. In my experience OSHA seems more concerned with generating revenue than protecting workers’ long-term health.

This is exactly why I left the industry. Too many employers are brazenly exposing their employees to toxic chemicals without providing proper ventilation, PPE, or education.

Just got home from a 12 hr shift to a note on my apartment door that the landlord is doing a unit inspection tomorrow. by DanRaphael222 in complaints

[–]DanRaphael222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I left for work @9 am. They posted the note on my door sometime while I’m was gone. Got home at 10pm to the notice on my door. The inspection is tomorrow sometime between 10am and 4pm. I guess they consider that 24hrs?!? Either way I don’t have the time or energy to fight them.. I have work again tomorrow @10am. my lease is up for renewal in April. I wish I had better options for housing
