Quotes:
“While working there I discovered there’s a few differences between what I thought was the best standard practices from what I was taught, and what was being done at the office.”
“I was stuck…I felt like I had done everything and what do I do now?”
“Sounds like you’re always looking for opportunities to grow and where you could be valued within a dental practice.”
“Working in a team where you think you’re valued and your opinion seems valued, even if you don’t have a formal leadership title, I think that’s very important and it shows the quality of the team.”
“It’s important to remember that the dental world is such a small world.”
“I’m not quite sure how being too ambitious can be a fault.”
“I think that’s ultimately the point here, that you will find somewhere where you’re happy…where you feel less like you’re going to ‘work’, having fun, and room for growth.”
