Answers:
Are you certified through DANB or is your certificate similar to a diploma that states you passed the course!?

Don't get discouraged, there are plenty of dentists out there that are willing to hire 'entry-level' assistants!. Everyone started somewhere, and everyone was given 'that first chance'!.!.!.!.

Did the school you went to have job placement assistance!?

Did you ask the place that you interned at if they were hiring!? What about your own dentist!?

Try scheduling an interview when you fill out the application, or ask to be interviewed at the time you fill it out!.

I don't think it matters if you're a male!.!.!. there are plenty of female dentists in what used to be a 'males only' world!.

Sorry about all of the questions!.!.!.

Best of luck!!!!

A lot of dentist will hire and train on the job!. I do think that a lot of dentist are reluctant to hire males because assistants are typically females!. The guy I am working for refuses to hire a male, which is wrong!. If they are in fact not hiring you because you are a male and you can prove that then you could actually take legal action against them!. Keep looking, who knows maybe you would have better luck if the doctor were female, I've never worked for a female doctor myself so I don't know how they would feel about a male assistant!. All in all sex shouldn't matter as long as you do a good job! Best of luck to you!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is something I don't like hearing since I'm in school for dental assisting myself!. Do you have expanded functions!?
I would hate to say it's because your male!. Maybe you need to recheck your resume!?

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
