The job opportunities for trained dental assistants are excellent in today's marketplace. In most parts of the country, there is an acute shortage of dental assistants. An examination of the job listings on craigslist and the like will bear this out; there is always a continuing demand for well trained dental assistants. the course. Following your training in this ten week course, you will have the confidence and skills necessary to apply for these positions. Along with your diploma, we will provide a letter of recommendation and a summary of your training experience to those students with a 70% or above grade average for Part of your training will involve the Job Interview itself, how to prepare for it, how to dress, what to say, etc. So often jobs are lost during the first five minutes of the interview. We feel it is important to train you in this area as well so that you will stand out from the rest of those competing for that position. We advise area dentists of our classes so they are aware of the next graduating class, many doctors call our office asking for a list of our recent student graduates. We also inform our current class of any doctors needing Dental Assistants so that they may apply directly for the position. Many of our students have obtained jobs as dental assistants even before finishing the course. The starting pay scale for experienced dental assistants is considerably higher than non- experienced and most offices will not even consider anyone without any experience. We are often asked what a graduate from our course can expect to make in their first job. The answer depends on where the office is in the metropolitan area. Offices in these areas generally pay higher salaries than those in the rural areas. Graduates of our course have been averaging $10.00 per hour to start and more than 80% of our students become employed. We also offer free placement assistance service to help you in finding just the right job. Dentists call our office asking for our students and we will try to match the kind of office and location you are looking for! Another factor that is often overlooked is in the area of job satisfaction. We have heard many times over the years from our students on how much happier they are working in the dental profession as compared to their previous jobs. One student reported, "I beat out someone (for job) that didn't have the hands on I did." A parent of another one of our students thanked us personally for giving his daughter new direction and responsibility in her life. Are you happy in your job? If not then do something about it!!
