The Danger Zone: Top Reasons Candidates Fail

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

  • Failing to explain their reasoning or the benefits of their perspective.
  • Presenting the outcome as a foregone conclusion rather than a result of persuasion.
  • Describing a situation where they simply 'won' the argument without collaboration.
  • Not clearly articulating their specific actions and contributions.
