Comments about the Indianapolis area
- My employer works very hard to market the practice and we achieved 13% growth this past year.
- Regarding hygienist positions in area, traditional methods of newspaper ads no longer work, rather it is about networking with fellow hygienists, sales reps and online postings. There are too many new hygiene programs opening at tech schools, giving delusions of "all the jobs out there."
- It is unfortunate what employers are offering as the starting salary in comparison to what they did 10 years ago.
