Help Finding a Job in Dentistry

One of the biggest mistakes most dental graduates and upcoming graduates will make is not looking for an opportunity sooner. You spend all your time studying, testing, and working, only to find you forgot to get a job with that degree out of school!

Looking early is imperative, and looking with help makes life easy. Hiring practices everywhere are standing by to help you find that perfect first job, or even relocate from an old one. The dental industry is seeing a tremendous need for experienced and even brand-new candidates for jobs all over the country, in every type of practice.

Locum Tenens is a great place to start, as it allows you to get quick experience in a local, short-term environment. While not permanent solutions, these jobs can get you a foot in the door to the industry, and the references needed to find a better job elsewhere.

Many local and nationwide programs exist to help you connect with fellow dentists and practitioners, so don’t be afraid to go to a forum or an experienced individual for advice.

With that in mind, a recruiter is the best place to start. These companies are contracted by practices in need to find employees for empty positions. You don’t pay a dime for these services, and when you get placed, the recruiter will make sure you’re the best fit for it.
