going into june..

Since late August, I have the busiest I think I have ever been and the most hard working. I spent 8 months learning, preparing for, and striving towards being a dental assistant. Now, school is over. I'm out on my own. And so far I haven't really had any leads. Is it me? or is it just coincidence? I was fully prepared to go dropping off resumes

You are wise. :) It's definitely hard at first, but you have an impressive resume and some experience to start with, along with good references. The right job will be the one that actually takes hold -- that's always my thinking.

i'm in the same boat. i'm thinking i need to start being more aggressive? but i don't even know where i want to work. i could go take my resume around, but where? and everywhere i apply hasn't called me so far. i think i need to just take it to lots of places anyway, even if they don't seem like a first choice off hand. so, i would say take your resume to everyone, any dental office around. just walk in and ask if they are accepting resumes, and if they say yes, hand them one. then, if anyone calls you, you can take it from there as far as if you like the place or not.
