Although I may be one of your younger applicants, I do have
secretarial and excellent customer service skills. I believe that my age
would actually pose as a benefit to your company because I am still eager
to learn new and innovative ways to do my job as fit to your standards or
above. I am currently searching a fulfilling job that I can go to and come
home from feeling as if I done something for the community.
I have an associate's degree in science as well as most of my
bachelor's degree. My college and professional experiences have provided me
with strong oral and written communication skills. I have also been prepped
for the outside business world and to do things in a methodical and logical
manner. I am a quick learner and a great multi-tasker with a positive
attitude and the desire to excel.
The beginning of my working life was spent in restaurants, while not
appearing relevant to the position initially, in all actuality it has been
the paramount in which prepared me to better handle situations. Whether it
be a crowded and stressful environment or dealing with irritable and
dissatisfied costumers, I have learned to acclimate myself to better serve
their needs.
I currently reside in Montrose, CO and have been working with Dr.
Tippets (Pediatric Specialist) for a little over one year. Although never
attending a Dental Assisting School, Dr. Tippets has been an excellent
mentor and has trained me to be precise and accurate. I am proficient in
all aspects of radiographs, chair side assisting, prophys, and placement of
all classes of amalgam and composite restorations, placement of sealants,
crowns, and space maintainers, as well as Dentrix. In understanding that I
have not been trained in packing cord or making of temporary crowns, I am a
very quick learner and believe that my training in peds would bring a fresh
outlook on your practice. I have learned techniques in which are needed to
attain desired results from children, whether it be with radiographs or
talking them through a procedure.
I am currently looking to relocate back to Denver so that I can
continue with my bachelors degree at night, while working in the dental
field in the day. I hope to one day continue my love for the dental field
by applying for Dental School in two years. I look forward to having an
interview with you as I feel that a resume does not have the same affect as
an in-person interview does.
Thank you for your time.
