Hi, I’m hoping this will reach the right audience. About a year ago, I decided to study dental assisting. Within a short time period, I received my DA certificate and coronal polishing & sealant as well. I worked at a small family owned office for about six months and then went on maternity leave.  Now that I’m looking to get back to work it’s been fairly challenging and I’m hoping someone can help me out.  Although I have six months working in an office, I feel like no place will hire me

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years and I sat find offices willing to train or no exp necessary if they ask for experience make sure your resume highlights the skills you do know . How you are willing to learn and grow where r u located by the way

Not rare in the burbs.

If places offer to train you, do not be afraid to ask how their training program works. I promise as someone who did not ask this, and was told that many times, and it never happened. It is a very good way to tell if the office is structured.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?
