Do Dental Receptionists Get Drug Tested?

-
Image
 If you are applying for a job at a dental office, then you might have to take a drug test. Dental receptionists are not required to have as many verifications and credentials as a dental hygienist or dental assistant, but many dental office managers will require a drug test. Besides requiring a drug test, most dental offices will also require background check. This is to make sure that the person that they hire is not a criminal who will be a liability to the office. The deciding factor on if the job will require a drug test and a background check is the dental practice owner. Why Would a Dental Office Drug Test Employees? You might wonder why a dental office would drug test employees, when a corporate office—such as a investment bank or marketing firm—would not. It’s a interesting question, but one that has an answer. The difference between people who work in dental offices, be they medical staff such as Dental Assistants or dental front desk personnel, is th...

  Waste of Time, or A Viable Option? Finding a job can be stressful, espically when you dont know where to start. Thats where a temp agency can really help you out.  The way that a Temp agency works is as a middle man between you and employers, which means they already have connections that you might not have on your own.

Getting a Job in New York Social Work-- Does The School Matter?

-
Image
  Diploma mills might look like an easy shortcut, but they can seriously backfire on your resume. Employers often check where your degree comes from, and if it’s not from an accredited school, that’s a huge red flag. In many cases, it can cost you the job instantly—or even get you fired later if it’s discovered. It also comes down to trust. Listing a fake or low-quality degree makes it seem like you’re trying to cut corners, and that can make employers question your honesty. Once that trust is gone, it’s hard to get it back. On top of that, diploma mills don’t actually teach you much, so you may struggle to keep up in a real work environment. In the end, it’s just not worth it. You’re better off building real skills or earning a legitimate credential that actually helps your career. Here's a breakdown of the main schools in NYC that offer degrees, and how they are ranked. Tier 1 Schools in NYC -         Fordham, Columbia, NYU and CUNY – Hu...
