First time speaking with a recruiter who picked out my resume from a posting. Any ideas on what to expect besides going over my resume? What questions are appropriate at this point? (Eg firm name/salary etc)?

A recruiter called me about a role about 7 months ago. She asked me what I wanted in terms of salary , so I'd pull comps to make sure you're ready to ask for what you want/what you're worth. She actually spent most of the call trying to sell me on the role and the rest of the time prepping me for the interview.

I think the recruiter did a good job finding me and preparing me for the interview. I actually got an offer and nearly took it but I was offered an in house role at the same time, which was a better role for me (and more money).

I think I would have done better, offer wise, if I had pushed for a higher salary before the interview, but I wasn't prepared for the salary question and the recruiter kept trying to sell me on the offer that was made instead of trying to get a higher base rate.

Good luck on your call! I hope they have an interesting role for you.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy.

I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
