get a job

So, I’ve been a dental assistant/ front desk with my mom who’s a dentist but I never thought it would become anything. After applying to grocery stores, restaurants and when babysitting got boring I decided to try my luck and applied to dental front desk positions.

People like related experience. If you’ve got skills, flaunt ‘em! You never know when an employer is secretly looking for something that you’ve totally mastered but they don’t even realize that they need the skill that YOU have. You will surprise them, and yourself and you’ll shine at your interview.

Life shouldn’t be hard. If you feel like you’re reaching for a job, then you’ve gotta stop trying that approach. Don’t pretend you’re someone you’re not. Baby steps…

Hang in there!

This past summer, I worked as an executive assistant for a specialized dentist. I thought that I would get work experience in areas such as making models, or preparing cases, or other dental related jobs, but NO, it was not so. I instead had to clean the office space, order food, go shopping for basic things such as cleaning and office supplies. My job was not at all what I had expected and for the hours that I worked, I definitely did not get paid enough. After college when I have learned the skills to take charge and be my own boss I will probably be satisfied.
