Dental job boards and help-wanted advertisements shouldn’t be your only solution to finding a job. More than 75% of all job openings never get advertised.
That means most dental hygienists are finding work in other ways. If networking is the first word that comes to your mind right now, you get a gold star. But there are lots of other ways to proactively find a job.
This page shares lots of easy-to-include dental hygiene job search strategies. Techniques that work over and over.
But, if you still need coaching or help, contact us and we can work with you one-on-one to get results.
