What are the biggest challenges in your job?
“Keeping a constant flow of work coming into the shop is the hardest part of being a jeweler. You have to advertise your services and skills to find clients. I use newsletters to stay in touch with clients, but face to face is the best method. Constant promotion is the key” (Moussa).

“Some opportunities exist. You can find these positions by training at the colleges that offer jewelry courses. These colleges have career centers that can help you find a job.
You need to have the skills before you can be hired because there are so many good jewelers out there. The competition is too tough to simply jump into the industry straight out of high school” (Moussa).

Overall I learned things about the career and him which was a delightful experience. My goal of seeking this career has not changed and my mind is now set even stronger onto achieving this career one day in my near
