I agree, emgreen, that I have nothing to lose by at least trying. I have a pretty good feeling he will offer me a job (he's a personal friend and really good guy who wouldn't lead me to believe I had a chance at a job if I really didn't). The worst that could happen is I can't get up to speed on what the job requires and it doesn't work out - - in which case I bet he could find something else for me to do in the company. It's just very intimidating because it's an area of the law that I know nothing about, and I'm not sure how I would get up to speed on what the job requires. He's actually got a paralegal doing collections work right now, and I bet I could actually learn a lot from her!
