I get my dental assistant certeficat but I need experience to get hire.what can I do?
I am a dental assistant and love my job. I have the always had the easiest time finding a job that paid me well. if you dont really know anyone in your community and they wont train you then I would suggest to be a "sterilization/clean up girl" that way you are there and they sometimes slowly work you into the regualr staff. or all dentist know other dentist in smaller towns, so if someone needs someone there you are and your name will be suggested. good luck
Reply:I am wondering the EXACT same thing. I'm afraid of going through the whole dental assisting certificate thing only to not be able to find a job.
Reply:Use your inexperience as a selling point. Tell any prospective employer that since you have no prior in-office work, you can be "custom-trained".





I have been in the field for almost five years, consistently working, and I still use this as a fallback. Some assistants have been working for the minimum prerequisite time and are harder to train because they are used to doing certain tasks a particular way.





Apply for those jobs anyway; take a positive attitude with you, and sell yourself! "I am aware that you require at least one year of prior experience, however I feel that I would be beneficial to your office because..."





Good luck!
