Tips for the Dental Assistant Interview
Before Interview
• An interview is an informal chat to determine whether you are fit for the organization.
• Verbal contents of the interview are forgotten with in 30 minutes of your interview. What remains is the overall impression.
• Dress appropriately. Be businesslike.
• Practice in front of a mirror or an audience of friends/colleagues.
• Arrive at least 15 minutes early.
- Switch off your cell phone before entering the room of interviewer.
In Interview
• Greet the employer with a handshake.
• Make frequent eye contact.
• Smile, be polite, and try to relax.
• Listen carefully to the questions asked. Ask the interviewer to restate a question if you are confused.
- The key to answer the questions is to be honest in your approach.
- Employer can ask you this type of general questions.
Tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to work for me?
What did you like/dislike about your last job?
What is your greatest strength?
What is your greatest weakness?
- As a Dental Assistant, you need to make your employer know about your skills. In your conversation you can include following points.
How well you can manage his / her clinic.
Your greeting skills
Communication skills
If you have treated some moderate level operations on your own. Mention them.
At the End of Interview
• At the end, thank the interviewers for their time.
• Ask the following questions from the employer when he has completed his interview and selected you as your employee.
Who would supervise me?
What are the opportunities for advancement?
Is there a dress code?
- If employer does not select you, consider the following matters.
Don’t put the interviewer on the spot by questioning why you weren’t offered the job. Accept you weren’t successful, and ask a constructive question. “A better route is to ask how you could improve, what your weak areas were or if the interviewer have any specific interviewing advice for you.”
You should not argue with the interviewer that his assessment is wrong about you.

Great post! Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been reading a few posts and really and enjoy your writing. I’m just starting up my own blog and only hope that I can write as well and give the reader so much insight.
I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically opposed to what I read to begin with. I am still contemplating over the opposite points of view, but I’m tipped to a great extent toward yours. And regardless, that’s what is so super about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas on-line.
