I am a recent dental grad and just got my license a month ago. Due to the bad economy, jobs are very hard to get. If granted an interview for a dentist position, what would be a proper response if they were to tell you "Why would we hire you if you just graduated dental school and have no clinical experience outside of school while other applicants seeking this position have 5 to 10 years of experience or more?" Any advice on how to answer this? New grads like myself have a hard time finding jobs because most if not all require at least 2 years of experience. In my opinion, I do not think practicing for 2 years is not much of a big gap as compared to new grads. We are just as competent in doing the procedures.
