    Tips to help you write your Dental Assistant resume in 2022

       Opening summary specifies dental assistant skills

    As the background of dental assistants can vary based on their experience working alongside dentists or at the front of the office, you can orient hiring managers to your particular background by including a short summary at the start of your resume. You can opt to include the tasks and skills you have expertise in, the amount of time you've been a dental assistant, or the type or size of office(s) you've worked in.

       Uses numerical values to impart scope and scale of dental experience

    Having an eye for details and accuracy is an important aspect of the clerical duties dental assistants are expected to perform. With that in mind, you should aim to use quantitative values in each of your bullet-pointed accomplishments as it will help hiring managers understand exactly how big your previous offices were, how high your satisfaction rating was, how many physicians you’re accustomed to working with, and so on.

    I had a clear uptick in responses after using your template. I got many compliments on it from senior hiring staff, and my resume scored way higher when I ran it through ATS resume scanners because it was more readable. Thank you!

    "My free resume review was truly eye-opening. I found out why I wasn't getting interviews and exactly what to add to get past resume screeners. I've already had way more callbacks since I used it. I recommend it to all my friends who are job searching."
