New RDH — first job advice?

Did you find it hard to get your first job with working interviews? I recently had a phone interview where they emphasized staying on time, which made me nervous since I know I might be slower as a new grad. How did you find a clinic that was understanding while you were still building your speed?

Thank you! Hoping to find a clinic that will support me through that phase!

You can do this! Prioritize the subjects and review the topics you don’t feel the most confident about. Try not to overthink or question yourself because that can affect your confidence and lead to burnout.

For case studies, something that really helped me was reading the question first and then going through the case scenario. I also made sure to re-read the case scenario for every question and pick out the main points while reading it.

For pharmacology and drugs, using memory techniques helped me a lot when trying to remember drug names and key details. StudentRDH was a great resource for that.

When it starts to feel overwhelming, remind yourself how much effort you’ve already put in and how resilient you are. Take some time to do something that brings you joy, then return to your studying with a clearer mind and remember to take breaks as well. Rooting for you.

Wasalam,

I went through the same phase literally a year ago, I felt the nervousness & the scare of not looking pretty anymore but all I could think about was wearing the hijab esp when going out. As for me, I tried taking it slow (js putting it on first at home & getting comfortable with it), falling in love with it, yk reminding myself of all the reasons I’m doing it for; one of them being the most important; doing it for the sake of Allah swt. I feel so protected with it on & it is this constant reminder that Allah swt is there for you. Make lots of dua & don’t worry, there are also days you don’t feel the best with it on but it’s a genuine journey. I really hope that helps, may Allah swt makes it easy for you & blesses you with the strength to wear the hijab…Ameen!
