Think about the job postings you submitted for Part 1, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities you’ll need. Did these jobs match what you had in mind for your dream job? Did you find your dream job? Describe the similarities and differences. The job match is what I had in mind for my dream job. I have done a lot of research on if the processes dental hygienists do is right for me, and I think it is.
From the 3 job postings you found, choose one job you want the most, and use the list of skills required for the job of interest. Identify skills you already have and identify skills you are still building or need more experience performing. Discuss options to sharpen or learn the skills you will need to gain.
I chose the first job that I had uploaded. The first and last are both from Konikoff but it can be very different depending on the location. The first job listing also might pay more than the last one. A dental assistant must be able to talk to their patients, work effectively with the dentist, be very detail oriented, perform dental cleanings, and take x-rays. A lot of the skills required to be a dental hygienist aren’t really possible for me right now except building my communication skills. All the other skills are mostly skills that are learnt through hands on experience.
