A dental hygienist résumé example, and the recall list on it

One complete dental hygienist résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— a full list is the job. a returning list is the result.

A hygienist's value to a practice is measurable in three ways and most résumés for the job describe none of them. This example is written out in full so you can read the measurable version, then put through the tools here so you can see what software takes from it. The candidate is invented. Sigrun Ballantyne-Oduya does not exist, neither practice exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

The example, in full

List, recall, referral

Fourteen patients a day across five surgeries. A periodontal recall list of 800. Eleven hundred periodontal charts a year with ninety cases referred to the periodontist. Those three lines describe a clinical practice at the level a principal is buying.

The referral count is the one to notice. It says this hygienist recognises what sits outside their scope and passes it on, which is the quiet professional judgement a practice is actually paying for.

The recall line is a business result

Recall attendance from 62% to 81% after the reminder sequence was rewritten. Every practice principal has a view about the recall list, and a hygienist who has moved one is making a commercial argument without writing a commercial sentence.

The decontamination line does the same for the surgery: instrument turnaround down 30% after the routine was rebuilt. Infection control is normally described as a duty, and here it is described as something that got better.

What the reading found

The door below hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 100 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with the authorisation stored as a certification with its year.

No language model is involved. Every string a reader emits is checked in code to be a span of your document, and a field that fails that check is dropped and counted rather than kept.

What the checker scored it

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, five of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 178 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Clinical pages are short because clinical careers are regular, and shortness is the only thing this measurement can hold against them. Your own page will be measured the same way by the ATS checker, with the readable word count printed rather than implied.

What this example leaves off

No patient information, no clinical photographs and no list of instrument brands. A principal is reading for list size, recall behaviour and registration, and a page that opens with equipment reads as a page written by somebody who has not run a list.

Short course lists are left off too. One registration with a year and an honest description of the periodontal work is worth more than eight afternoon courses, and it leaves room for the recall figure that actually makes the case.

What to change for your own

Change the setting. Corporate practice, community dental services, orthodontic practice and hospital periodontology all use this shape with different vocabulary. Then put your own list size, recall figures, charting volumes and referral counts in.

Keep the registration with its year, and keep the education sessions if you do outreach, because a practice with a school programme reads that line closely. The guide on certifications covers placement. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the medical assistant example, the physiotherapist example and the laboratory technician example sit beside this one.
