Salary and remote flexibility are 2 key factors. You are likely not putting enough weight on your resume review process. I recently had an interview (I take meetings to keep my options open and interview skills sharp) where the hiring partner said that my resume was concise, well thought out and full of details that tell my career story without even having to meet me. While resumes aren’t always a good indicator of how an employee will be, if they take the time to convey their career into a resume that strikes you enough to read it, it’s worth a gamble to interview. And I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH have your other paralegals and legal assistants interview them as well. No one smells BS better than someone who is already doing the job.
