Your goal is to get past this person so you can get a real interview. Don’t hard no anything (ie., distance, relocation, etc.). You’re open. Try not to give a salary in case it knocks you out of consideration.
Typically, you’re going to answer questions about your background to see if your qualifications are a good fit with the open position.
And whether you’re someone who can get along with the rest of the team

expect to answer questions
Depends. Most screeners are for basics, verifying details, making sure you are a human who can have a phone conversation, confirming pay expectations, telling you about the company and the role. Occasionally there are more substantive questions.
Recruiter is going to get a sense of whether there’s a potential fit. Will ask what you’re looking for, tell you a bit about the company, etc. If you’re prioritizing a good fit, be honest about what you want. If you’re just trying to get the hell out, tell them what they want to hear.
This is all helpful. If they ask about pay expectations, should I flip it back to them and ask if they have a range in mind? Feels risky to let them anchor
Assuming no range on the posting, I usually say something like "I'd like to learn more about the role and comp structure before giving a number. Are you able to share the range for this role?" Out of dozens of screens over the year, I've only had a few companies decline to share.
Expect to answer questions around your values and how they align with the company. Be prepared to answer why you're interested specifically in this company (i.e. read their website and the job description thoroughly). Be prepared to answer questions related to your experience and any questions they may have about your background (short tenure at previous role, gap between roles, etc.). Remember that the talent manager/recruiter may not focus solely on legal roles so don't use a lot of legalese. Use straightforward language. Ask good questions around how you can add value to the team or org.
Also, congrats on getting your first interview!! Exciting!
They’re going to have your resume right in front of them but ask you to walk them through it.
-This is when you vocalize all the ways your background aligns with the job description.
If they want someone with XYZ regulatory experience talk about that. If they want someone with contract drafting talk about the extensive contract work you do. Dont make them guess if you’re qualified. Let them know you hit all the basics and most of the preferred qualifications.
They’re likely going to either ask you directly about salary expectations or they’ll tell you the range and ask if that’s going to work. Some companies have moved into a very upfront approach to comp. They tell you it’s based on 2-3 factors but give you a good idea of where youll land. If they ask you for your first number just confirm the range listed in the description is within your target.
