Try opening an Ebay account and start "selling" your necklace and rings. Pretend you're actually across the counter from a customer and start typing the description of one of your products as if you are really selling it to someone across the counter. Else, just ask the potential employer for volunteer work to gain experience.
One way to get jewelry sales work experience is to go to local jewelers and ask if you could work as an unpaid intern! Not many people would turn that down in this economy. Yet another way is to go to local jewelers and ask if you could work strictly on commission. This would be great for a go getter.
1. Sell on commission basis for someone at craft fairs or flea markets, getting experience and a job referral for when you move on. 2. Help an eBay jewelry retailer by taking photos and getting pricing information, thus getting a recommendation in the job field and getting experience. 3. Offer to work as a cashier in a jewelry retailer.
Approximately 8 weeks before Christmas, dress in your most conservative, yet sharp looking outfit. Go to down your local mall, and apply for a job at one of the jewelry stores. Smile pleasantly at every opportunity, and emphasize your desire to gain experience in jewelry sales. Keep at it until someone hires you. Good luck!
