Can you remember your first day working in a dental front office? We all started somewhere, and most likely your career began sitting at the front desk. We all strive to learn more, and in the days before social media there wasn’t a cheat sheet. We learned by the examples of others in our field. Today we have social media groups, such as Dental Office Managers on Facebook, that can foster relationships and develop communities that help us grow and further our education.

For me, working interviews are a necessity to consider a position in a dental office.
