Trying to find life after school?

I am 20 years old. I have been a babysitter since 1999(never had a 9 to 5, but 7 am to 7 pm or vice versa). I finish dental assistant school Dec 2006. Have been job hunting since Feb of this year. I have been interviewed few times with no luck. Have also sent resumes, but with no call back. I live in a somewhat rural area(first question of the interviews “Are you willing to move in the area”). Second question “How old are you ?”(born in 87;graduated May 2005). Third question(when they notice I attended a state university for one semester) “Are you sure you want a job in the dental field?”. Fourth question “What type of experience do you have”( my only experience came from school and 136 hour externship. I cannot gain experience if no one wants to hire me( i know there are other factors about why I didn’t get the job). I am a crossroad with myself over the present and the future. Should i continue to try and find a dental job or go back to (different) school and follow another passion

It will be extremely hard for you to find a job given your specific situation. Are you sold on the dental field as an assistant or are you willing to go back to school and finish the requirements to be a dentist? This is a growing field – especially dentistry for the aged. We have a constantly growing aged population with the baby boomers coming of age and there are no dentist that speciallize in the unique needs for this growing group.

If you absolutely are sold on being an assistant, contact your instructors for leads to dentists office. Often, it’s not what you know, but who you know. Volunteer to work in their offices part-time to gain the knowledge and skills. You may have to take a part-time job in another field like sales or marketing to tide you over, but at least you will be building your resume’ in the process.

Don’t limit your possibilities to what is geographically around you. There is a world out there and a place for you in it.

Good luck

no stick to what you studied for. if you are desperate for money, find any job, but in the meantime GAIN MORE EXPERIENCE.

do an internships for free (well they wont pay you). call upa prestigious dental office or whatnot and tell them that you would like to work as a dental assistant intern for say three months. that should be enough to add more useful information on your resume. They may ask you to work as an employee or you may have enough to get the job of your dreams.

either way you win.
