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 finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
