Part-time front desk position available in a small general dental practice in Astoria, NY.  Must be available two afternoons during the week and Saturdays.  Please forward resume and letter of interest to [log in to unmask]

Although this is front desk position, we can offer the employee a chance to learn about dentistry.  Most of the employee's work will be in the front but we can schedule time for the employee to shadow the doctor during different procedures, including implant surgeries.  This is a great opportunity for someone who is willing to go the extra mile and learn about dental procedures, as well as how a dental practice operates.  


Proper Etiquette in Responding to Listserv Postings

The Pre-Health Professions Office has been receiving complaints that students are responding to postings on the listserv in an unprofessional manner.

Job, volunteer, and internship postings that are sent out on the listserv are professional and should be responded to professionally. It is unacceptable to send the contact person an e-mail that just simply says: “I’m interested” or to use text message lingo in a response.

All e-mails or letters should have a greeting and a closing in addition to proper punctuation and grammar. 
For Example:

Dear Ms. Smith:
My name is Sally Jones, and I am interested in the posting that was sent out on the Hunter College listserv. I am an undergraduate student at Hunter College, pursuing dental school and an opportunity to work in your office would be a great learning experience.

Attached are my resume and cover letter.

Thank you for your time.
Sally Jones
