The Danger Zone: Top Reasons Candidates Fail

Based on our database of Legora interview outcomes, avoid these common traps:

  • Describing a situation where they simply 'won' the argument without collaboration.
  • Not understanding the stakeholder's concerns or perspective
  • Focusing only on the 'what' and not the 'how' of influencing.
  • Not demonstrating active listening or empathy.
