Anyone transition from healthcare to legal sector? I reached out to a recruiter because I’m looking to make that transition from healthcare administrative to a legal project coordinator. What are some transferable skills and goals I can best illustrate to recruiters and hiring managers?

I have not worked in healthcare, but as an AA for Big Law in NYC for 6 high-level attorneys (2 are partners), I have needed the skills to work under pressure (and do it all with a smile— in the end, AA is a customer service job). Can juggle a multitud of urgent tasks from different principals, and prioritize. FAST learner. Being pleasant (yes, they value this— and I’ve been complimented on it… as a woman, it bothered me.). Adaptable / malleable to unique needs of each principal and practice area. SCHEDULING. BILLING. Knowing what your principal needs before they need it. Quick turnaround in editing of documents and responding to any client inquiries. In the end, these LPCs are fancy names that combine legal assistant with the diminishing role of admin assistants (in a world where younger attorneys have the tech know-how to do most things themselves). You’ll do great!

I should probably also include that the difference between AA and legal assistant guarantees a little bit more exposure to the legal process— which is good if you’re interested in getting some substantive work in the field. Usually involves organizing and tracking of client info and docs.

Hello, I have a final panel interview coming up for a Strategic Product Consultant role at Procore (Construction SaaS). It’ll be 3 separate interviews, 30 minute each with a Team Lead, a Senior Consultant, and a Customer Success Manager.

I’ve already completed 2 interviews; 1 screening interview with a recruiter and 1 with a hiring manager.

I’m currently a PM for a General Contractor looking to pivot into tech.

Looking for advice to prepare for these final rounds of interview. Thanks!

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
