The Muybridge DNA (TL;DR)

The Danger Zone: Top Reasons Candidates Fail

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

  • Failing to explain the specific persuasion tactics used (e.g., data, empathy, finding common ground).
  • Describing a situation where they were simply doing their assigned job.
  • Blaming the other person without acknowledging their perspective.
  • Failing to offer concrete steps or proof points for successful integration.
