two interviews today

Dental interview tl;dr

  • The dentist recognized me right away which is really funny. I must have some kind of way about me that people recognize me, because I haven't been back in like a little over a year. The front desk lady said that I have a really positive vibe and seem fun to be around so it makes sense to her.
  • I interviewed with the practice manager whom I had already met before haha.
  • Seems to have the same vibe as the vet industry. That is to say, sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's fast paced, doesn't pay well, but you are making a difference.
  • There is some opportunity for advancement; they pay for you to become registered except for the exam fee. They also pay for all the classes for any follow up training if you want to get certified further.
  • Interview mostly focused on like, how do you deal with stress, how do you deal with people being snippy. Which to me tells me that there can be stressful situations. She said it's fairly rare, but they do have really busy times of the year where everyone is burnt out.
  • This is a small town, so there's only a few people working there. 2 at the front desk, 3 dental assistants, her (practice manager), and the dentist.
  • She's only been working there two years, she got promoted to practice manager in less than a year.
  • She said that there isn't a whole lot of turnover, and the people who do leave typically do so to continue schooling.
  • She asked about my availability for a follow-up interview on Thursday because likely going to get an offer, just depends on whether or not I actually want to take it. I mean, it seems decent to me. Worst case scenario I go, oh my god, this is awful.
  • I also set up a cleaning the day before hahaha. Unintentionally going to show them more on my attitude/behavior, but I just really needed to do it because it was overdue anyway.

Second interview tl;dr

  • Was an MLM.
  • Wasn't even a particularly successful one, considering I already know a lot about the cruise industry.
  • No other notes.

so, pretty successful day for job interviews, if you ask me.
