Hello,
I have an interview tomorrow for a workmans comp Insurance company. I don't have any experience in this area except for just over a year of case management. So, with that being said I am a little nervous and need to do well to get this job. What type of questions should I prepare for? Also, what would the job be like? Thanks for any advice.

What Salary Are You Seeking?
