Still no luck
I am a Dental Assistant of 15 years. And not to sound conceited, but im really good at what I do. I recently had a working interview that went very well. The Dentist even told me she was impressed with my skills. At the end of the day, the office manager spoke to me, told me that she was gonna talk to the other dentists and get back to me, that was 3 weeks ago. Ive called twice, and both times the receptionist told me the OM was with a patient and said she would call me back. But she hasnt. I have been on countless interviews, with a couple that told me i was over qualified, and have pounded the pavement handing out my resumes. I have had NO LUCK at all finding a job. My question is, would it be a bad idea to walk in to the office where i had my working interview and ask them why i wasnt hired? I desperately need a job. I have even applied to many places like walgreens, walmart etc with no luck....its discouraging.
It would be futile to ask why, rhetorical. It is what it is. Keep the faith and don't allow these types of disappointments get you down... Currently in a halfway way house trying desperately to get my life back together, so Baby girl you are batting a 1000 in comparison. Stay strong!
That's your only option to walk in that office and ask for a explanation...
yes I think it would be ok to ask of why because of curreosity
Hi Rebecca, I was experiencing the same exact thing in my field. I have over 10 years extensive training, experience and skills but could not get any one to give !e a chance ( I am 55). Bruce Nelson from Melaleuca reached out to me. He showed me a 30 minute presentation and I was hooked. I am not a sales person, but I love to help others. I found a way to help people get the carcinogens, neurotoxins and free radicals out of their homes, which cause MS, Fibromialgia, Asthma, migraines and cancer. I'd love to show you how to earn from a home based business, help people and earn residual income for future security. Gail gaco2580@gmail.com
Ask yourself this, what do I have to lose by asking? Answer: Nothing! Also instead of call that place that hasn't returned your call, don't call just show up. Sometimes doing the unexpected can get you unexpected results. Good luck.
Rebecca, I encourage you to go back and talk to them regarding the results of your interview.
But, in the meantime, I am sending you a story of what another young lady with a similar background as yours did to take her career to the next level.
While on the surface such decisions might have appeared to hinder my career, it is important to note that these times presented a chance to explore alternative work experiences and learning opportunities. Some of these new explorations added nontraditional skills and varied experiences to build on a foundation that supported future career choices. No matter what motivates a hygienist to move out of a comfort zone to try something new, there will undoubtedly be experiences that will add to the building blocks that shape any future career directions. I began my career as a practicing hygienist in Minnesota, and when we moved out of state, I passed the Ohio state licensure exam and worked as a temp in private practice there. In the difficult job market at the time, finding a permanent position eluded me, so I began to explore options. I interviewed with a major pharmaceutical firm, emphasizing my knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and health care, and was hired as a sales representative. I continued to work for this company for two years in Ohio and an additional year after moving to upstate New York. My sales career felt rewarding, and soon I began to ponder how to utilize my newfound sales and territory management expertise as I returned to the dental profession. I researched and found an opportunity where I could use my dental knowledge and my emerging business management skills to become a distributor of dental products. In this role, I partnered with the local chapter of the Dental Hygiene Association and the local community college in a number of ways. I also spoke at major dental meetings, including the Yankee Dental Congress in Boston. After just three years, my company employed four sales representatives and a bookkeeper. As an entrepreneur, many new skills began to emerge, such as delegation, accounting, inventory control, negotiation, vendor relationship management, and more confident public speaking. After six years I sold my successful dental supply company to a market competitor and embarked on the next phase of my journey.
Rebecca, I hope this inspires you to think big, and realize you are in control of your future. All the very best to you. Tim
I know it's horribly hard, but do not loose faith and hope, it's just taking time, you will be in my prayers, I am also looking but only for a couple of weeks, so let's keep tracking girl!
Rebecca, I was experiencing the same thing in my field. I have extensive trainings, education and experience. I was getting depressed over no one seeing my value. Bruce Nelson reached out to me from Melaleuca, showed me a 30 minute presentation and I was hooked! Let me tell you about a way to help others get the carcinogens, neurotoxins, and free radicals out of their homes (and yours) and earn residual income. Gail gaco2580@gmail.com
