How to tailor your resume for a Dental Hygienist role

1. Put license and certifications, especially local anesthesia if your state grants it, at the top; that credential changes what a practice can book with you immediately.
2. State patients per day and visit mix, perio maintenance, cleanings, matching the pace language of the posting; pace decides whether their schedule works with you in it.
3. Name your charting and imaging software, matching the posting's system if named; software familiarity is a training-time question every practice manager is already asking about.
4. Cut general phrases like passionate about oral health and replace them with your daily patient count; the number is what a practice manager can actually act on.

The claim that ATS systems auto-reject 75 percent of resumes traces to a 2012 marketing claim, not research. (traced to a 2012 vendor marketing claim)
