How self-improvement apps can shape your future self

How self-improvement apps can shape your future selfHow self-improvement apps can shape your future selfNirs Note This guest post is written by Jeni Fisher, a London-based Googler who consults startups on applying behavioral insights to achieve geschftsleben and computer-nutzer goals.Early on in my role as an Apps partner manager at Google Play, I welches drawn towards the Self-Improvement apps space because their persuasive influence transcends screen-level interactions. Their mission is to persuade people to take real-life actions that lead to long-term behavior change and ultimately shape how they live their lives. Read on to discover how unterstellung companies are harnessing behavioral insights to bridge peoples intention-action gap and work towards the future self they seek to be.1. Make the first session a successFor self-improvement apps, the first step to addressing peoples gap between intentions and actions is to ensure that the first session sufficiently activates people t op the crucial in-app behaviors.If were not sufficiently activated to experience the benefits of the app in the first session, well likely churn and uninstall. Retaining users over the long-term is tough, but one of the best ways to mitigate this is to optimize the first session so that new users understand and take the core in-app behaviors fast.The Mindfulness app revamped their onboarding from several screens to a new flow that elevated the core action of getting started with a meditation session. By implementing this Android material design quickstart model, week-2 retention increased from 19% to 33%. The takeaway? By increasing the likelihood of activating users on day one, your entire retention curve will shift up over time.2. Plan for the next sessionThe first session is your best opportunity to ensure retention-driving triggers are set up. Without these, that first session wont lead to a second and the likelihood of a behavior getting adopted is slim.Lets imagine someone ins talls a language learning app because they really want to learn French. They are far mora likely to actually learn French if they willingly set a plan of how/where/when they will carry out the behaviors that help achieve this goal. There are dozens of studies citing that planning the how/where/when of a desired behavior, an implementation intention, makes it mora likely that people will take action.The Healthy habits app The Fabulous has taken on board this growing body of behavioral science research and implemented a Commitment Contract feature accordingly. People are asked to fill in a commitment contract where they indicate exactly when and where they will accomplish the desired action, for example taking a walking meeting to exercise more during the day. And in one specific study about implementation intention, people who filled in the contract were 20% more likely to follow-up on their plan.Another powerful technique is to encourage new users to set up a daily reminder so that they actually use the app a second time at a time/day of their choosing. Push notifications that have been directly set by people at times that work for them work better than generic marketing prompts because theyre aligned with our own self-selected intentions. Live class app Yogaia tested the implementation of a new Daily Reminder feature, and found that new sign-ups who activated the daily reminder feature were 48% more likely to attend a class within the 1st weekGoing beyond a specific time of day, theres a wealth of smartphone data that can equip developers with true user awareness by taking into account a wealth of other data points. Developers can tap into services such as Neuras AI software to transform smartphone data into insights about user activities in the physical world.Neuras AI predicts when someone is likely to wake up, and this is especially important for use cases such as fertility awareness apps. Their full potential is only tapped into when a user measures her t emperature as soon as she wakes up. By integrating the Neura SDK, fertility awareness app My Days was able to tailor prompts to when a user was most likely to have just woken up. These personalized smart reminders vastly outperformed the previous generic prompts, with a higher % of women taking their temperature as a result.3. Make the benefits tangibleSo your first session sets the user up for success. Youve ensured that future behavior is planned or contextual cues are set up to remind people to act. Thats still not enough to close the gap and ensure people take action There also needs to be a real sense of the benefits of engaging with the product over time. This is particularly challenging for self-improvement apps, as when it comes to investing in your future self, benefits are typically not experienced for months. To keep people on track, apps can foster commitment by ensuring users experience some form of a reward from day one.So, as soon as you complete one of your habits in the Fabulous app, the app asks you to take some time to celebrate. This is inspired by behavioral research that says if people take time to tap themselves on the back, they will associate a good feeling with the habit and start looking forward to it.This challenge is greater for businesses who monetize via subscription, where the key benefits of using the app tend to be behind the paywall. Google Play recently partnered with The Behavioural Architects, a behavioral science insight consultancy, to identify how key behavioral economic concepts might better convey the paid benefits of a subscription app. You can read the Medium Post detailing the key findings of the study, or download the white paper.4. Maintain the behaviorSo how do you ensure motivation levels dont lag in those crucial first few weeks? A popular motivational design technique is awarding a run streak for consecutive days of usage, helping to boost motivation and making it more likely that intentions lead to a habit b eing formed. The extrinsic reward of building up a usage streak can be super powerful, but can backfire and demotivate if implemented incorrectly.Yogaia added a daily run streak on the service to boost the motivation at the point when they had not done a proper activity-based segmentation it worked well on the already very active users that could easily maintain the run streak. However, it punished their largest segment of class attendees, who would attend 1-3 time a week, with a run streak of zero. In the end, they opted to show the cumulative number of classes and hours attended so that the number could never go down).Perigees Seven Minute Workout app strikes a balance between offering in-app rewards for habitual usage and the sense of failure that an all or nothing streak tactic can manifest if you have a long streak built up.If you miss a day, you miss one of three of your earned hearts, but dont lose months of progress in one go. There will inevitably come a day when youre not able to carry out the behavior, and losing one of the three hearts makes use of the motivational power of loss aversion but avoids the demotivation and likely abandonment that a complete loss might cause.. . .Encouraging people to start a new behavior is, in some ways, the easy part.At its most simple level, initiating a new behavior based on expectations about future outcomes. The harder part is encouraging them to maintain it. AJ Rothmans Theory of Behavior Maintenance suggests that continued maintenance of an adopted pattern of behavior is contingent on people being satisfied with the outcomes they have obtained. If they dont perceive outcomes, they will break the new habit.This theory inspired Smoke Frees implementation of their progress dashboard. The dashboard helps people see that they are making progress toward their smoke-free goal by providing feedback on time smoke-free, money saved, health improvements made and so on.Also, when A/B testing their Daily Missions feature, S moke Free found that people were twice as likely to have quit smoking after three months. Why? Because it encourages people to reflect on the benefits theyve gained from quitting smoking.Investment is, of course, a key component of Nir Eyals Hooked Model and over time, users will have invested significant data and non-transferrable progress within your product. Self-improvement apps have a real opportunity to better visualize this investment so that people are less likely to abandon their new behavior (and the product).Language-learning app Busuu recently introduced a progress dashboard on their user profile. This highlights their progress against short and long-term goals, and quantifies prior investment in the app via the number of words learned. Its positively impacted their Day 7 retention rates already.5. The path isnt linearIt might seem like the path to long-term behavior change and habitual app usage is a simple series of chronological steps. But in reality, its more a serie s of stages.To help people reach their goals, the nutrition and lifestyle app Lifesum wanted to know the answer to the following question what does it take for a person to change something? To do this, they conducted a huge research effort, interviewing people who had recently succeeded or failed in a behavior-change attempt. They surveyed their user base and evaluated models of behavior change, mapping both to their internal data.What did they learn?People move through a series of stages when modifying their behavior. These stages (Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance) lie at the heart of the Trans-theoretical Model of Behavior Change.These stages correlate with how different people interact with different features in the app. For example, people contemplating a lifestyle change might initially just browse meal plans. People in the preparation stage might be more likely to take the in-app Health Test, while users who are ready to take action actively track their meals.Pe ople arrive at different points of their journey when they first install Lifesum, but the research also confirmed that that people moved through the stages in different ways. Importantly, lapsing to an earlier stage wasnt a sign of failure but an almost inevitable part of achieving long-term, behavior change.What did they do next?Prior to the research effort, onboarding emails werent tailored to a users readiness for change. However, by presenting each stage of change in the email and its related features, their onboarding email rates more than doubled. For users who were clearly in the action stage, these targeted emails increased open rates by a further 37% and doubled click-through rates.The framework also enabled Lifesum to better match the in-app interventions accordingly with the users individual journey and readiness for change. The research effort confirmed that we all need support throughout our changing journeys, regardless of who we are, and Lifesum is now doubling down i ts efforts to help people succeed with this key takeaway in mind.The habit trackers were prominently surfaced to users who were clearly on earlier stages of readiness for change, and this led to a 40% uplift in D7 and D14 retention rates. Engaging users on the preparation stage with the health tests increased weight loss success by 20% too. . .The positive impact that self-improvement apps are having on peoples habits and routines raises some exciting questions. What are the untapped opportunities for businesses to help persuade people to act in ways that they INTEND to act? How can you proactively take the concept of implementation intention, or a better understanding of your own readiness for change, to take control of your own personal goals?Please share your thoughts on the examples listed above, and dont miss my talk with the co-founder of The Fabulous, where we discuss related insights that can help business boost retentionNirs Note This guest post is written by Jeni Fisher, a London-based Googler who consults startups on applying behavioral insights to achieve business and user goals.This column first appeared on Nir Far.

How to Answer Interview Questions of Being out of Work

How to Answer Interview Questions of Being out of WorkHow to Answer Interview Questions of Being out of WorkJob seekers often worry about how the fact that they are unemployed will be perceived by prospective employers, particularly if they have been out of work for a long period of time. Employers will often ask why you have been out of work for so long, and its important to be prepared to answer. One thing to keep in mind is that employers are more understanding of employment gaps in a down economy. In addition to high unemployment, there has also been a trend towards more hiring of temporary workers leaving more workers with time in between jobs. However, you mucksmuschenstill need to be prepared to respond to questions about the length of time you have been unemployed. Whats the best way to answer questions about being out of work? Even though you may really need a job, its important to maintain a positive attitude and to provide a detailed and convincing explanation as to why th e job you are interviewing for will be a good fit in terms of your skills and interests. Employers will be hesitant to hire you if they think you are randomly targeting jobs out of desperation because you have been unemployed for a long period of time. Fired or Laid-Off The fruchtwein difficult case to make will be for those who have been fired for cause and have been unemployed for an extended period of time. Mentioning taking the time to reassess job options or retrain can be an effective approach if you are seeking work in a different field. In these cases, be prepared to reference a weakness that limited your productivity in your last job, while also discussing the strengths you have that will lead to success in a new job. For example, if you are transitioning from an outside sales position to a customer support job, you could mention that you struggled in the sales job because you were leid very effective at cold calling, but also mention that you excelled in satisfying cur rent customers. Discussing a layoff can be tricky, as well. A layoff due to company or industry financial problems can be addressed directly in your cover letter. In this case, it can be helpful to reference any personal success in the job and briefly mention that financial difficulties that caused your former employer to downsize. You could also mention how you are looking forward to taking on a new role and, even though the layoff was difficult, it gave you an opportunity to seek a more challenging position. The actual length of time you have been out of work after a layoff can sometimes be addressed by mentioning factors like the time it may have taken to reevaluate your job options. Voluntarily Unemployed Individuals who are voluntarily unemployed for an extended period of time will have the easiest task in countering any negative perceptions. Job seekers may have left the workforce to care for an ill parent, relocate, have a baby, travel, recover from an illness, or go back to school before changing careers. In these cases, mentioning your break from work up front may be the best approach. You could include language in your cover letter that mentions the reason for this period of unemployment and asserts your readiness to return to the workplace. You can then build upon that position during the interview. Brief explanations will usually be the most appropriate, for example, I left my last job to care for my mom who was undergoing treatment for cancer. She recently passed away, and I am eager to resume my career.

Adding Additive How TURBOCAM Successfully Incorporated 3D Printing Into

Adding Additive How TURBOCAM Successfully Incorporated 3D Printing Into Adding Additive How TURBOCAM Successfully Incorporated 3D Printing Into Adding Additive: How TURBOCAM Successfully Incorporated 3D Printing Into its Workflow It took TURBOCAM Energy Solutions years of watching from the sidelines as aerospace giants like GE pioneered the use of 3D printing before going out on a limb itself. And then when the New England-based manufacturer of high-precision flowpath components for aerospace, oil and gas, and diesel engine applications went out on that limb in 2013, it did so without a safety netquoting its first additive manufacturing (AM) job before it even owned a 3D printer. You could see that the [AM] technology was being developed and getting closer and closer to achieving the requirements our customers have, says Jonathan Bicknell, TURBOCAMs general manager. That same year, the company went through a deeply detailed comparison of additive technologies with its own core technology, five-axis machining. The DMLS software slices the model into thin layers, which the machine then builds layer by layer, fusing metal powder into a solid part by melting it locally using a focused laser beam. Traditionally, youd buy a big piece of material, you would ship it from source, you would hog the material out, or machine a lot of chips...and get your final shape, Bicknell says. In contrast to this subtractive form of manufacturing, direct-metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an additive process that uses lasers to heat and bond powdered metal, building up a part layer by layer. TURBOCAM compared the two processes for cost, accuracy and tolerances, material properties, process times, and current customer requirements. Video of DMLS software Video: TURBOCAM Play video Quickly moving into additive The company took its time, but once the decision was made to venture into additive, everything happened fast. We received the machine one week, we got set up and trained the next week, and we started the project the third week, Bicknell says. We had an order for a number of pieces and we actually started building parts, he continues. For that first piece, there was a lot of nonrecurrent engineering involved, just to build and see the response. So you figure the first piece took 10 times longer than the rest. Because they bided their time before launching into additive, and chose a manufacturer that had hundreds of DMLS printers under its belt, TURBOCAM avoided a lot of headaches. A lot of known lessons got passed on to us, Bicknell says. Now were going to take that learning and apply it to a whole different application. More intricate parts After successfully printing a few parts, the company was asked to produce something a little more challenging by the Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory. I had some complex instrumentation needs where I needed to get a lot of pressure measurements on a small airfoil, and it wasnt going to be practical to do those in a conventional way, says Joshua Cameron, head of the laboratory. There were too many and they were too small to fit into the vane. But with DMLS, TURBOCAM was able to build trenches, or tunnels, within the part that allowed the researchers to add dozens of pressure flux sensors at precise locations without disrupting the flow. In addition to integrated sensors, they were also able to create very small diameter tunnels through the middle of the part, normal to the flow, which allows static pressure to fill the cavity so measurements can be taken from outside the part. The reality is that if you were to take a conventional product, and decide that you would build it additively, the cost is actually too high for the majority of our parts. But if you work with your customer and design it with an additive mindset, you can start to reduce cycle time and overall cost, Bicknell says. Adding and subtracting Once youve printed a part with DMLS, that doesnt mean its ready to ship right off the presses. It starts with additive, to create the internal cavities, Cameron says. But then theres additional processes, like polishing the cavities, and finish five-axis machining on the airfoil surfaces. Typically folks will think, I have a 3D printer, now I can print anything I want, Bicknell says. We had our eyes open, and we knew that the tolerances are so tight, not to expect that on certain parts. With their five-axis expertise, TURBOCAM is able to inspect a 3D-printed part, readjust the CAD model, and then create programs to subtractively machine the final shape to its exact specifications. Adding diversity, satisfying customers AM has helped TURBOCAM diversify its offerings to customers like Notre Dame. Weve been able to provide components theyve never tested in their rig before, in a timely manner, and add special instrumented components, Bicknell says. They can get more information from that test for their customer, because we offered an additive approach. In addition to expanding the design possibilities, DMLS now allows TURBOCAM to work with high-temperature trademarked materials Inconel and Hastelloy, along with aluminum and more traditional alloys. Notre Dame has done three different DMLS parts with TURBOCAM and is now in discussions for the next project. It would have been impossible to build these cooled vanes with a conventional machining method, Notre Dames Cameron says. You would have had to have used some sort of investment-casting process, and that process is very time consuming, very long-lead, and very expensive. So I think [the cost] is completely reasonable for what youre getting, and I do think its coming down as TURBOCAM learns how to optimize the process. The new frontier of additive manufacturing can be intimidating to navigate; fortunately, theres the ASME AM3D conference to help guide you as you integrate AM into your business.

How to Get a Job Working at a Vet Clinic

How to Get a Job Working at a Vet Clinic How to Get a Job Working at a Vet Clinic Are you ready to make your dream of working with animals a reality? Working at a vets office is a great place to get some hands-on experience. While these jobs arent easy to come by, you can increase your chances of securing one by focusing on a few key things. Finding an Opportunity Small animal clinics have a larger staff. Your best chance at an entry-level position will be at a small animal clinic. Small animal clinics require a larger support staff because they usually board patients daily or overnight. Large animal vets are on the road and visit their patients at farms. These vets generally only have one ride along assistant traveling with them.Dont rely on the classifieds. Many vet clinic jobs are never advertised. You will have to seek them out. Put together a list of clinics in your area by researching online or using a phone book. Some clinics will also post a help wanted ad in their window. Get Their Attention Prepare a resume with references. Also, consider writing a brief letter of introduction. Never use the salutation to whom it may concern. Make sure you tailor your resume and letter to the specific clinic to which you are applying. If possible, deliver your materials to the clinic in person. You might be able to hand them off directly to the vet or the office manager.Highlight relevant experience working with animals. Include any animal experience such as pet sitting, dog walking, volunteering at the Humane Society, grooming and bathing pets, working at a riding stable or farm, etc. If you have certifications or college degrees related to the animal industry you should be sure to point that out. If you are a student interested in pursuing veterinary medicine in the future, say so. Many aspiring vets work as assistants during college and vets tend to go out of their way to help the next generation succeed in the business. At the Interview Arrive promptly and dress nicely. Being late for your first appointment will make the vet wonder if you will be a chronically late employee. Remember, first impressions really do count. Also, consider your wardrobe choices for the interview. You dont have to wear a suit, but wearing flip-flops and torn jeans will not present you in the most favorable light.Are you an intern or an employee? It is far easier to get your foot in the door when you ask for an internship rather than a paying job. A good strategy is offering a brief trial period of unpaid work before the clinic decides whether to take you on as an employee. Realize that if you do find a paying entry level position, it will often start at minimum wage. Be open to the concept of working your way up. You will likely start as a kennel assistant: cleaning cages, feeding, bathing, trimming nails, administering medications, and providing basic daily care. Once you prove yourself, you will have the opportunity to move up and assist the vet with exams, treatments, and x-rays. Vet clinic employees all pay their dues. You have to learn the business from the ground up. After the Interview Say thank you. Take the time to send a handwritten thank you note immediately after your interview, whether you get a job offer or not. A clinic that might not have a place for you now could keep your resume and call you at a later date. Employers tend to remember candidates who are courteous and take this extra step, as most applicants fail to do so.Keep looking. Dont sit at home waiting for a clinic to call you back, even if you had a great interview and think youll get the job. Keep sending out your resume and interview at every clinic you can until you have a firm job offer.

When Writing Cover Letters, Lose the Tude

When Writing Cover Letters, Lose the 'Tude When Writing Cover Letters, Lose the 'Tude Letters crawling with creeping arrogance inflict hiring managers with terminal cases of Don’t-Hire-This-Jerk-Itis.The job seeker couldn’t figure out how to find a C-level HR person’s name to follow up with. “I found out that… the secretary (sorry, assistant) forwarded my letter to the HR recruiter without showing it to his boss,” he wrote.Look carefully at the facetious self-correction lurking within those parentheses. Was the correspondent trying to inject a note of levity, or was he displaying contempt for a professional’s official title … or both?The correct answer: Intent doesn’t matter. What matters is he displayed what could easily be interpreted as a subtle strain of arrogance. Displaying any signs of an arrogant attitude such as that in his correspondence with potential employers could easily explain why he wasn’t getting hired.We asked hiring managers a simple question, and they graciously confirmed our suspicions: Hiring managers do not like dealing with jerks. Nor do they recommend that jerks be hired. But arrogance can be subtle; we can often slip into condescension without even realizing it. To help job seekers avoid creeping arrogance, we asked hiring managers to share with us some of the letters they’ve received that display an attitude that’s dismissive, arrogant, rude or snide.FULL-CAPS EXCLAMATION MARK NEARLY BLOW CHANCE AT JOB!!!Elizabeth Lions, author of Recession Proof Yourself! was recently doing some technical recruiting for a client. A job candidate wrote her an e-mail using all capital letters, asking, “Why are you looking for talent in Portland! I am IN SEATTLE.”First off, Lions did look in Seattle, but nobody answered her ad. More to the point, using all capital letters and exclamation marks made her feel that she was being screamed at and “deemed incompetent,” she said. Not the feeling you want to leave a hiring manager with, given that she’s the one with the keys to the job you’re after.Luckily f or all-caps exclamation mark man, Lions wrote back. It turns out that her correspondent “had no idea how he had come off to me initially,” she said. But don’t count on a recruiter being willing to investigate your intent, like Lions was. Just play it safe, and leave out the sweaty punctuation and the hollering that full-caps denote.The old “your job requirements are stupid” trickA woman wrote to Jillian Zavitz, applying for a job as an online English teacher with online English learning company TalktoCanada.com. While she “did not graduate from university,” the woman wrote, she was “well qualified for this position,” given that “not having a degree does not affect my abilities since my experience is more important than a degree that does not relate for ESL teaching.” Ah. Really. In other words, the company ’s job requirements are irrelevant. “It’s kind of snarky,” said Zavitz, Programs Director. “With her trying to justify why we should hire her despi te the fact that she doesn’t meet the requirements and WHY her qualifications are better.”P.S.: Don’t be arrogant in the interview, eitherOnce you’ve weeded out the attitude in your correspondence, don’t blow it by coming off as a jerk in the interview. Laura Williams was interviewing a candidate for a position as junior account manager at a public affairs firm - a replacement, in fact, for herself, a few rungs down on the corporate ladder. The candidate, in his early 20s, asked about the potential for upward mobility during his second interview. Williams told him her experience was typical: During her tenure, she’d received a promotion and raise about every 18 months.His response: “Yeah, OK, that’s you, but what about somebody of my caliber? I’m likely to move faster, right?”Williams’ response: “Ick!”“If he displayed that kind of lack of judgment/filter when he was on his best behavior (presumably) in an interview, I wasn’t letting him anywhere near m y Fortune 50 clients,” she said.

Learn About Dental Career Options

Learn About Dental Career Options Learn About Dental Career Options The field of dentistry is concerned with the health and appearance of the oral cavity which includes the teeth, gums, and tongue, as well as with the jaw. The first occupation that typically comes to mind when we think of this branch of medicine is dentist, but other options might interest those who want to work in this field but arent willing to, or cant, spend the significant time it takes to prepare for this career. If you want to help people preserve their oral health and appearance, you can become a dentist, dental hygienist, dental assistant or dental technician. Their roles and responsibilities of these dental careers differ significantly from one another, as do their  educational and licensing requirements. Read through these brief descriptions and then dig further to learn more about them so you can decide which is the best fit for you. Dentist Dentists  are health professionals who diagnose and treat problems with their patients teeth and mouth tissue. They may be general practitioners or specialize in an area of dentistry like orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics or pediatric dentistry, and many own their own practices. Expect to spend at least six years preparing to become a dentist. That includes at least two years of college and four years at an accredited dental school. While some programs dont require a bachelors degree for admittance, many do. If you want to specialize, you will have to spend another one to two years doing a residency in that area of concentration after you graduate from dental school. All states require a license to practice. You will have to pass Parts I and II of the National Board Dental Examinations. Their extensive responsibilities and training garnered general dentists a substantial median annual salary  of $152,700 in 2015. Specialists  earned more. Dental hygienists and assistants, who both work alongside dentists, have significantly lower earnings, but that is proportional to their preparation and level of responsibility. Dental Hygienist Dental hygienists, generally working under the supervision of a dentist, provide preventative dental care. They typically spend a lot of time with their patients, performing cleanings, examining their mouths and teeth, and teaching them good oral hygiene practices. Their duties vary according to the rules of the state in which they practice. You must earn an associate degree from an accredited dental hygiene educational program if you want to work in this occupation. You will also need a state license. Requirements differ by state but always include passing an exam such as the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE).   Although their compensation is significantly less than that of dentists, dental hygienists salary is quite good. Their median annual earnings  of $72,330 in 2015 make  it one of  the top 10 highest paying occupations that require only an associate degree. Dental Assistant Dental assistants work alongside dentists, performing some patient care, but not the same tasks dental hygienists are licensed to carry out. Laboratory and office duties are also among their many responsibilities. In some states, those who want to become dental assistants must graduate from a one-year diploma or certificate program. Dental practices located in states that dont require formal education to provide on-the-job training. A license, registration or certification is compulsory in some states.  Dental assistants earned a median salary of $35,980 in 2015. Dental Technician Dental technicians manufacture prosthetics and other appliances based on dentists specifications. They are also called dental laboratory technicians. They do not perform direct patient care. Most  dental technicians receive on-the-job training from laboratories that manufacture dental appliances. They begin their careers as helpers and are given more complex tasks as they gain experience. States do not license them, but they can get voluntary certification  from the National Board for Certification, an independent board established by the National Association of Dental Laboratories (NADL). In 2015, dental technicians earned a median annual salary of $37,190. Comparing Careers in Dentistry Education License Median Salary Dentist Dental School (4 years) Required in all states $152,700 Dental Hygienist Associate Degree Required in all states $72,330 Dental Assistant H.S. Diploma / Formal Training or On-the-Job Training (requirements vary by state) Required in some states $35,980 Dental Technician HS Diploma and On-the-Job Training or some formal training Voluntary certification $37,190 SourcesBureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016-17 Edition, on the Internet at bls.gov/ooh/ andEmployment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, O*NET Online, on the Internet at http://online.onetcenter.org/ (visited May 6, 2016).

Downplaying Short Tenures on a Medical Resume

Downplaying Short Tenures on a Medical Resume Downplaying Short Tenures on a Medical Resume Lifetime employees are a thing of the past, but multiple short-tenured jobs aren’t exactly what this health-care executive wanted to lead with.The days of 30-year tenures are gone. But the connotation of a “job hopper” lives on. Though employers are becoming more lenient with short tenures due to the recession, job seekers are still worried about making a faulty first impression.Such was the case of Phillip Woellner, a senior-level health-care executive with experience in psychiatric and hospital management. Woellner was laid off from his job with Diamond Healthcare in the Richmond, Virginia and needed to to play down any gaps on his resume.“I was explicit about getting beyond some of the dates that were on my resume,” said Woellner. “I was not a job hopper at all, but had some unfortunate timing with some of the companies I had worked for: one that went under completely only after a few months of being there.” The appearance of changing jobs frequently is a known turn off for recruiters and hiring managers, so Tina Brasher, a certified professional resume writer who works with Ladders, was keen on attending to the needs of her client by putting Woellner’s strengths at the very top section of the document, in his profile. Near the very top of his resume his experience as a VP, director and supervisor responsible for a 30 percent improvement in an inpatient program became highlighted.“On his former resume, his profile was a tad too old fashioned. It had an objective statement, which is outdated, and was full of generalities like ‘accomplished director of operations,'” said Brasher. “He needed his profile boosted with quantified results and a layout that allowed for the tucking in of dates - so as to not draw more attention than necessary to some of the shorter term jobs he had.”“What are companies looking for from potential employees these days?” said Brasher. “People who can reduce costs and save them money. If you aren’t putt ing things in terms that display cost cutting, you need to rethink your whole resume.”Brasher said she bolstered the document by showing off his experience with high-volume hospitals that made turnarounds, of working in start-up environments, and being able to wear many hats while hitting milestones and getting results.
