End the job hunting hassle with Dentalworkers.

Finding a new job can be maddening. Dentalworkers.com, the on-line employment service exclusive to the dental industry, has launched a new web site that saves dental assistants time and money in finding the right dental office.

Dentalworkers.com offers dental professionals the same services that a large job board, such as Monster.com, provides. These services include free resume posting for prospective dental workers and classified ad placement for employers.

Cathy Price, Dentalworkers.com president, says that while the site offers several new resume and ad-managing features, it remains simple to navigate.

"We've kept the 'home town' feel by dedicating the site only to dentistry and keeping the navigation on the site easy to use," Price says. "Yet easy does not mean simple. The renewed site uses the most cutting edge technology to make the job hunt and the recruiting of dental assistants efficient and cost-effective."

Dental assistants can now manage multiple resumes instead of the single resume that had been available to them. They also will have the option to place their resumes as "premier placement," "bold," or "confidential" and write cover letters to employers.

If temporary service offers from employers or staffing agencies become available, dental assistants can respond to them for free. They also can track job ads and responses in their "my favorites" folder as well as access a private availability calendar.

Workers find that Dentalworkers.com simplifies their job search.

Rami Nabors, a newly hired dental hygienist in Lakeland, Fla., says Dentalworkers.com exceeded her expectations.

"It's hard finding a job when you move from state to state, but Dentalworkers worked great for me," Nabors says. "It really cut down the amount of time it took to find a job!"

Students who aspire to become dental assistants also will find Dentalworkers.com to be a valuable career building tool. New services offered to students include the placement of special externship resumes. They also can review externship opportunities from employers. While in school, Dentalworkers.com will ease the process of finding students externships in their geographic areas by delivering information on potential positions by e-mail.

Dentalworkers.com currently features more than 8000 resumes. It serves as the job board for the American Dental Assistants Association.
