Dylan Lincoln - Clifford Chance Spark
In the run-up to interviews and assessment centres, I was paired with mentors who offered application reviews, advice calls, and mock interviews. Their guidance was invaluable in helping me navigate each stage, and in introducing me to a community of like-minded, ambitious students. I look forward to continuing on the programme!
