This week Machell Hudson shares with us the final episode of Reflection Health Podcast. Thank you for listening and joining Machell and Katy on this journey!
Episode Highlights
Quotes
“I couldn’t mimic how I felt when I was doing this with her.”
“The friends that I have gained in the last 4 years … I am still in awe. I don't know what I would do without them.”
“We have to share the gratitude that we have and the people we have been blessed with in this world.”
“Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”
“Our walk on this planet while we are here is our testimony.”
“The most growth comes out of those most uncomfortable moments.”
“This world of dentistry is full of leaders and they are pulling leadership out of people that didn’t know they had it in them.”
“Never miss an opportunity to tell someone what they have within them, they may not know, they may not get it, and they may not believe it. They need you to believe in them until they believe in themselves.”

Thankfully the new panel of guests for this month’s student roundtable is discussing all things related to job hunting: putting together your résumé, assembling references, and nailing the interview.
The Panel - Doug Perry helps both new and seasoned dental hygienists optimize their résumé, network, and find new jobs through his website GetHiredRHD.com.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
Why résumés are still relevant in the modern era of social networking and LinkedIn.
The must-haves and must-NOTS of every solid résumé.
Why it’s never worth it to fluff up a résumé beyond your actual skills and positions.
Deciding whether or not to go with a picture on your résumé.
Doug, Teresa and Kimberly dish out interview pro-tips and play fashion police.
QUOTES:
“Don’t fluff your résumé on things you’ve never really done.”
“It’s 2019 and people still don’t know how to format a résumé.”
“If you want your résumé in the right hands, you need to have an introduction in the body of your email.”
“Skimmability really is the name of the game.”
“Trust your instincts; if you don’t feel like this is a good fit, it’s not going to be a good fit.”
