Tell the interviewer how strong your leadership skills are! You may think leadership is not a requirement as a dental assistant, but most clinics are looking for candidates with promise, who can take control when needed. If you haven't served as a supervisor in the professional setting, refer to a role outside your job where you took on a leadership function.
