I don't see why health care programs at schools don't have internships for students. That would make it easier to find jobs, I'm lucky that my internship is part of my degree and its a long one so I shouldn't have a problem finding a job when I'm finally done. It was my understanding that the field for dental assistants is over saturated and it might be her degree too from that scam school. I guess she should call dentist offices and see if she can job shadow or something. I don't know what to suggest. Everest sure can't help her, I highly doubt they have a career center to help students/alumni.
How can my friend get a job as a dental assistant with no experiencing? She just graduated this past year and did the 1 month of internship the school offered but it went to another girl who got sent to the same work place as she was. So again how can she get a job without any experience? Most dental jobs require a certain amount of experience needed otherwise they won't hire you.
She's been doing that but only experience she has is the warehouse job otherwise no other experience. They won't help her, the school is a scam as it is.
When I graduated, into very very small field, one of us per about 300 000 people, I sent 220 resumes out in the world, and had no response back, with plenty of ads in pro magazines. School board showed one 2400 miles away, and I left family behind and took the job. Mof, was paid half of what they pay others. But that jumpstarted me. I am very well now and can brag that I have "multistate diverse experience".
That was in 98, when jobs were not that scarce and it still took me 8 months to find one.
Interestingly enough, the guy who was my direct supervisor, had sister in law, who "had degree" from expensive private college (parents with means forked for it) and was either not working at all, or making odd ten bucks an hour jobs "waiting for the job she is worth, aka $80 000 a year". That mixed on her being quit ugly and having no chances to find a well off husband.
"Headquartered in California, Corinthian operates more than 100 for-profit colleges under three brands: Heald College, Everest (which includes Everest College, Everest University and Everest Institutes), and WyoTech."
Look all over the country, you gotta go where the jobs are.
