The part PCs are most likely be interested in: jobs!
Jeweler: In spite of the name, we are always interested in hiring jewelers who can do the work required. Meeting employees besides the personnel manager is at your option. Salary + [large] commission.
Freelance designer: We will accept design submissions from anyone interested in submitting them. Custom holographic design software can be taught, or raw holograms can be submitted. Upon request, we will maintain your silence, withhold your name but pass on messages, release it only to purchasers, or release it to all interested parties. Payment is made only when a customer pays for a piece of your design. You can withdraw any design until it has been commissioned; designs will be held in the pre-payment commission state for a maximum of one month. [Medium to large] commission.
Designer: Must be able to design jewelry and make accurate assessments of what designs would look attractive with which appearances and outfits - and to nevertheless accept the customer's insistence that s/he wishes this anyway and continue the design process. Must learn custom holographic design software and deal with difficult customers. (To be considered for this position, you must either have references or at least three accepted designs as a freelance designer. Salary + [medium to large] commission.
Clerk: Must be able to accurately take orders, learn to use custom holographic software for designing jewelry. Must be able to facilitate the customer's design by presenting options, but does not require actual design recommendations. Requires an unlimited supply of courtesy. Firm grasp of good taste a bonus, awareness of designs specific to any given culture a bonus. Salary + [small] commission.
Photographer: (part-time) Must be able to take attractive and accurate photographs, including holograms, primarily of jewelry. Salary.
Special: anyone with unusual capabilities related to creating a hologram out of designs inside a customer's head. This could be a telepath who can use the hologram program, someone who creates physical illusions out of memories, or even simple memory enhancement. Inherent power not required, just the capability - an enchantment or gadget is perfectly acceptable. Retainer + [medium to large] fees.
[OOC: Manager: Emma is also looking for a manager to handle the daily budgeting, routine personnel issues, routine restocking, et cetera. She isn't publicly advertising this position yet, but if someone with appropriate skills applied for another position, she'd consider it.]
Discretion is required for all positions.
Resumes kept on file on request; when we expand to a storefront, we will be hiring additional clerks.
Norms [powerless] and Newcomers who meet the requisites accepted for all positions.
[Not mentioned on the website is the fact that they pay 5% commission to anyone who the customer claims referred them. If a customer professes himself satisfied, they will mention this; if not, they won't. They don't limit the kickback to customers; if you find out about it from a buddy and get someone to buy from them and reference you, you'll get the kickback.]
[Also not mentioned on the website -- apart from a NV presence and the kickback system, they don't advertise. Customers come from word-of-mouth only.]
[OOC for hackers: all network communication within the company is encrypted at unhackable / 90%. Occasional communications - jewelry descriptions and quotes, mostly - are encrypted with one-time pads, so are traceable at 90% but unhackable at 100%. The NVs of the jewelers are unfindable: that communication went to NV ID abcdefg is visible, where the NV is physically is not.]
