It can be hard to decide to relocate for a job opportunity. If you have rejected job offers in the past or not pursued opportunities due to the location of a role, you're not alone. It's never easy to uproot your life and leave what is familiar, but according to The People Perspective on Relocation, the survey conducted by IMPACT Group, of 3,078 employees 82% would relocate again.

Embracing relocation can help propel your career, open doors to future opportunities and improve your overall job satisfaction. Here are three reasons to embrace relocation:

Reason 1
Jump Start Your Dental Career

One of the best reasons to relocate for work is the opportunity to jump start your dental career. With more than 1,000 offices (and growing) across 46 states, Aspen Dental has openings across the country in communities that need care the most. You'll be able to meet that patient demand and change lives, all while quickly growing your clinical skills and paying down any dental school debt. At Aspen Dental, you can recieve up to $200,000 in tuition reimbursement. Or if you're a dentist with dreams of practice ownership, we can help you achieve that. With offices opening every week across the country, that opportunity for growth and ownership could make relocation appealing to you. Don't forget that with so many locations, where you start may not necessarily be where you end up and ownership opportunities could arise in places you've always dreamed of living.

Reason 2
New Experiences, New Communities

Beyond the impact to your career, new experiences and people can make relocating even more rewarding. Perhaps your growth feels stunted at your current practice or you feel like you could be making a bigger impact on the world around you. Joining an organization that's guided by camaraderie, support, and giving back could help you have a richer life. At Aspen Dental, we are dedicated to bringing better healthcare to more people. We believe in a future where health and wellness is accessible for all, which is why we often open offices in locations that have been historically underserved. These locations give you the opportunity to make a significant impact in the community you are joining. And with a team that's all about support, you'll be building new relationships and learning from peers in no time.

Reason 3
Learning and Development

Continuing education and mentorship are key to a successful career. At Aspen Dental, we make it easy for our team members to participate in world-class experiences that are dedicated to making our people better in all aspects of their lives. Our learning and development programs are centered around 4 pillars:

Clinical Excellence
Leadership Excellence
Business + Operational Excellence
Service + Support Excellence

Not only do we invest in continuing education, but we've also built the organization around support and mentorship. Our mentorship program has over 400 trained mentors across the country and we have the strongest community of collaborators in dentistry. When you have questions, you will have a network of over 12,000 employees and 2,000 dentists to guide and support you. By relocating to a practice with a mentor ready to guide and support you, you'll be fast tracking your learning and development and opening yourself up to future opportunities.

While change can be hard and it can be sad to leave the place you're familiar with, it shouldn't hold you back from opportunities that help you have the career and life you want. These are just some of the positive impacts relocation can have on your life; take the chance and explore options outside of the areas you thought you might wind up, you could just find your life embarking on an exciting new adventure.
