Dear__________________:

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity as a Dental Assistant and am submitting my resume for your review. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

As demonstrated, I recently graduated from an intensive Dental Assistant Certificate program, successfully completing comprehensive studies in broad areas of dental assisting practices, procedures, instruments and equipment, sterilization processes, and industry standards. Of note, unlike many new graduates I offer many years of related experience in the health services field as a credentialed Home Health Aide and am adept in prioritizing and managing patient care as well as educating and interfacing with patients and families.

Prior to this I also developed solid skills in administrative/office functions along with customer service while employed in the laundry services industry. While there I identified opportunities to increase business and took the initiative to recommend adding pickup and delivery services, actively supporting the employer in driving revenue growth.

As an employee, you will find me to be a self-motivated, patient-focused team player committed to providing quality dental care/services. I am confident I would be an asset to your patients and your staff, and I welcome the opportunity to interview at your earliest convenience. Again, thank you for your time and consideration; I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Patricia Harris
