GIA opens recruiter registration for GIA New York Jewelry Career Fair

GIA has opened registration for gem and jewelry companies to participate at the GIA New York Jewelry Career Fair next month and avail the opportunity to interact and recruit talent. The Fair is slated on July 27 at the Javits Center. It will feature an expert panel discussion, one-on-one career coaching and hiring opportunities for various careers across the industry.

An opening panel discussion, “Job Success in Today’s Market,” will be moderated by Susan Jacques, GIA’s president and CEO, and feature Jeremy Dunn of The Rephinery; Rhonda Edelman of Tiffany & Co; Myriam Gumuchian of Gumuchian; Michael O’Connor of Style & Substance, Inc; and Lee Siegelson of SIEGELSON.

The Fair is the annual recruitment event. GIA hosted its first Jewelry Career Fair in 1991 in Santa Monica, Calif. Since then, the event has expanded, bringing gem and jewelry companies and future employees together at more than 50 events in India, Las Vegas, New York and the GIA world headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif.
