I'm a navy reservist served for 11 years. Just recently left California to move to Virginia. Just want to look for a decent job in the dental field for my self and my family while going back to school to finish my degree.

Arguably the best dental school in the state is in Richmond at MCV. This is a distance but still commutable from Fredericksburg. If you graduated with a dental degree from MCV, jobs will fall into place.

We are in Boston but we have posted and found some decent candidates of all ages and backgrounds on Craigslist! i was shocked too. Also try monster.com or cold calling or in this case cold-faxing your resume to a few of what seem to be the largest practices in your area. If you want me to review your c.v. or help you in any way, I'd be more than happy to. I'm a periodontist w over 10 years of owning a multispecialty practice and I do all of the hiring here and would love to see if I cpuld help you in any way. Thank you for your service and I would be honored to assist you anytime. Ann-Marie

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for posting your question. Are there certain positions that you're interested in, such as dental hygienist, lab tech, receptionist, dentist? What type of work were you doing in California?

A little more detail about your background might help Advisors on the site give you more useful guidance!

Best,
Ali
