The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Jewelry Career Fair and Open House slated on October 5, 2012 is inviting over 25 gem and jewellery companies with over hundred job prospects across various career stages from jewelry design and appraisal to retail sales and diamond grading.

The event will also be a platform for one-on-one career coaching and to attend panels with industry leaders and achievers. The panels will include celebrity stylist George Blodwell, jewelry designer Erica Courtney and president and CEO of Jewelers of America Matt Runci. Some key panel presentations include: “Job Success in Today’s Market” moderated by Donna Baker, GIA’s president and CEO; “From Design to Finish” moderated by Mark Mann, GIA’s director of Global Jewelry Manufacturing Arts and “Creative Careers” moderated by Mark Smelzer, publisher of JCK Magazine and JCKonline.com.

Companies recruiting at the event include Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers, Montblanc, Tiffany & Co. and Zale Corporation. This ‘free’ event is being organised in Carlsbad, and is the only time each year that GIA’s 30-acre Carlsbad campus is completely open to the public. The Fair follows GIA’s New York city event, which was a success with over 800 attendees. A week prior to the event in Carlsbad, GIA will feature its exhibit - ‘GIA Celebrates Birthstones’ featuring more than 250 beautiful birthstones and jewelry pieces.
