Dental Office Receptionist Experience?
Asked by *Monika F
I've been a waitress for two years now, and before that i worked as a cashier but now I'm looking for a different job. Its summer time and i want a full time job, (Im goin to be a senior next year but i am 18 yrs old) maybe in a bank or as a front desk/receptionist in a dental office because it would help me learn more about dentistry, which i want to study in college, but most jobs need experience. How and where am i 'post to get that experience when every dental office in florida needs experienced front desk ppl. ??? Any help ???

Best Answer:
Your still young and have lots of time to study up on just what that job entails. Find somebody in an office, surely you know a dentist, and strike up a conversation with the receptionist (as casualy as possible) and start asking questions. The more interested you are the better answers you will get. Bless you.

ask for an internship

I agree with Elmo send out some resumes with a cover letter. Let the offices know that you would love to volunteer or do an internship. They get a free employee and you get experience and possibly a good reference if your not offered a job. But also I am a RDA. When I went to school I learned both front and back office. Then when I went on interviews they would say well you don't have any front office experience. Well it's a catch 22 how do you get experience when know one will give you a chance. Good Luck!!
