My business was established and located in Park on Park Office Complex in 2004 in Tall, FL. The business was ready to open in 2005 after major renovations of the studio. Business owners are entrepreneurs who start a business as a sole proprietor, with a partner or as a corporation.

Still, the typical business owner's job description is usually quite extensive. The job description of a business owner often entails acquiring financing or investing for the business to commence her venture. Additional investments may be required at times to acquire large equipment or to expand the operations of her business. Sole business owners are fully responsible for any debt or losses that a business incurs.The job description of a business owner also includes hiring employees and properly training. Business owners must also process tax information and I-9 forms on employees. Sometimes, a business owner's job description may involve writing a company manual on various policies, health benefits and the corporate culture of the organization. A business owner of a small business may be involved in keeping the books, recording revenue from any sales and keeping track of all expenses and profits. The job description of a business owner will usually involve coordinating payments of sales taxes as well as federal and state income taxes on a quarterly or semiannual basis. Other functions can include developing business plans.Early on, much of the success of a business is contingent upon the business owner's ability to sell or acquire clients or customers. Thus, selling is often a vital part of the business owner's job description. Business owners need to fully understand their industry, the key competitors, all products and the changing demands of the consumer or business customer.

Dental assistants with office duties schedule and confirm appointments, receive patients, keep treatment records, send bills, receive payments, and order dental supplies, marketing, sales and ordering. During my employment, I worked a 40 hour work weeks, which may include work on Saturdays or evenings. Training, qualifications and advancement Most assistants learn their skills on the job, although I was trained in dental-assisting programs. As in my case, some dental assistants become office managers, dental-assisting instructors, or dental product sales representatives. This was a wonderful job and because our office staff was so much like a family, it was hard to leave. Unfortunately, I moved due to my husbands Medical Residency ending and beginning a career in Tallahassee, FL.

Dental assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laboratory duties, and often work chairside as dentists examine and treat patients. They make patients as comfortable as possible in the dental chair, prepare them for treatment, and obtain their dental records. Assistants hand instruments and materials to dentists and keep patients’ mouths dry and clear by using suction or other devices. Assistants also sterilize and disinfect instruments and equipment, prepare trays of instruments for dental procedures, and instruct patients on postoperative and general oral health care. Some dental assistants prepare materials for impressions and restorations, take dental x rays, and process x-ray film as directed by a dentist.

During my employment, I worked a 50-60 hour workweek, which may include work on Saturdays or evenings. Training, qualifications and advancement Most assistants learn their skills on the job, although I was trained in dental-assisting programs. Assistants must be a second pair of hands for a dentist; therefore, dentists look for people who are reliable, can work well with others, and have good manual dexterity. Most States regulate the duties that dental assistants are allowed to perform through licensure or registration. Licensure or registration may require passing a written or practical examination. Certification is available through the Dental Assisting National Board and is recognized or required in more than 30 States. In addition, applicants must have current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Without further education, advancement opportunities are limited. As in my case, some dental assistants become office managers, dental-assisting instructors, or dental product sales representatives. Moved due to my husbands Medical Residency.

Promoter Apartment managers implement strategies to attract tenants and keeping renters from moving by launching promotions and showing vacancies to potential tenants, offering move-in specials and developing apartment-community programs. Maintaining Contracts To ensure tenants comply with their agreements, managers discuss contract terms with residents, including renters' rights; explain rules enforced by the apartment community--for example, no loud music, assigned parking and number of residents allowed in an apartment. Finanical Duties Managers collect rent, handle delinquent accounts, oversee payment invoices and pay bills for the apartment complex. They also audit apartment files and apply rent increases when needed. Supervisor Apartment managers have the authority to supervise and train hourly personnel and are responsible for conducting training sessions for all personnel and maintenance staff. Supervisors also have to adhere to the company's policies and regulations and expect personnel and staff to obey those policies as well. If not, the apartment manager has the right to terminate an employee. Problem Solver Managers have to solve many problems, including handling unexpected situations around the apartment complex, responding to tenants' complains and concerns, inspecting vacant apartments, working with maintenance regarding apartment repairs, and carrying out procedures for renters' evictions.
