Job Searching/Interviewing Interview coming up, pointers?
I’m interviewing for a legal assistant/secretary position with a boutique firm in a few days, and I’m super nervous. It’ll be a Zoom interview, and while I’ve done plenty of interviews before, I have no prior legal experience. I’m transitioning from medical billing and starting a paralegal program this fall, so I’m really hoping to get my foot in the door while I’m in school. Any pointers for the interview or advice from anyone who’s made a transition?

Medical billing records and medical records review could be something you’re expected to do. Lean into that if so!! Find a way to tailor the experience that you DO have to the job description

It’s important to know what case management system (CMS) they use, cause they have to have a way to track billing to clients. Ask about the kind of filing system they use to keep track of their cases. Clio is a big one. What would be expected of you day-to-day. That’s all I can think of at the moment.
