VDA CLASSIFIEDS IS NOW THE VDA CAREER CENTER
Shannon Jacobs, VDA Director of Communications
It’s my pleasure to announce the launch of the new VDA Career Center - the premier resource to connect career opportunities with highly qualified dental talent. The VDA has long been the goto resource for classified ads with our well-known VDA Classifieds featured online and in this publication. However, we saw the opportunity to offer dental professionals in Virginia an upgraded experience that will make finding or filling their next opportunity easy. Our partners at YM Careers have helped us design a Career Center that will give users a better overall experience through a modern design and an intuitive interface.
The transition from VDA Classifieds to the new VDA Career Center will allow you to:
Manage Your Career:
• Search and apply to the best dental jobs at practices that value your credentials!
• Upload your anonymous resume so employers can contact you, but you maintain control of your information and choose to whom you release your information. • Receive an alert whenever a job becomes available that matches your profile, skills, interests, and preferred location(s).
• Access career resources and job searching tips and tools.
Recruit for Open Positions:
• Post your jobs, or your organization’s jobs, where the most qualified dental professionals will find and apply to them.
• Promote your jobs directly to VDA job seekers via our exclusive Job
Flash email.
• Search the resume database and contact qualified candidates proactively.
• Expose your job postings to a larger audience through our NEW diversity, veterans, and social networks. VDA members receive all of these features and benefits at a significantly lower cost than market rates and rates for non-members. Just one more way your VDA membership is working for you!
We are committed to providing users with the most current career information possible. To that end, we no longer feature classified ads in this publication. Instead, you can access the most up-todate listings online 24/7.
You can easily access the Career Center through the device of your choice- smartphone, tablet, or desktop. And we’ve made it simple for you to log on; simply use the same login you use for the ADA, VDA, and components websites.
Need Help? No problem, our partners at YM Careers are standing by to help with technical or product support. Just give them a call at 1-860-437-5700.
Don’t wait! Take advantage of all the VDA Career Center has to offer.

Setup job alerts
A Job Alert is an online search of the most recently posted jobs on the job board. When it finds the jobs matching the criteria you set, you will receive an email notification containing all those jobs. This is a great tool as it does not require you to view the job board every day to look over the new jobs that have been posted, instead, the postings will be sent straight to you.
Upload your resume and request a resume review
Your resume can make or break landing the interview. While it is important that your resume is current and complete, it is also important that it stands out.
The FREE Resume Critique service allows you to get your resume reviewed by a resume-writing expert. Within a few days of submitting your resume, you will receive an evaluation outlining your strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions to ensure you have the best chance of landing an interview.
