This week I spoke to Harry Clark a future Trainee at the international Law firm Baker and Mckenzie. He recently graduated from the University of York and is about to commence my LPC (Law School) in London next year. Since graduating, he has started his own blog and eventually extended it to mentoring aspiring lawyers/solicitors through LinkedIn and social media, posting educational content as well as speaking directly with many candidates. We spoke about how he was constantly rejected for his training contract applications and how he managed to turn that round into a success. Regardless of whether you want to go into a training contract, you can learn a lot from Harry's mindset and attitude towards life as he aims to better himself everyday. It's an inspiring episode and I am sure will make you want to improve on your life. Make sure to follow Harry on LinkedIn here Twitter here or Instagram - harry.clark.law

In this episode on Building the Bridge I go solo and share with you my story and my biggest takeaways. After finishing my Law degree in 2016, I decided not to become a lawyer which resulted in me feeling confused and lost as to where to take my career. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and I have gained a range of tools, insights and experience as to how we can purposefully direct our careers and also start understanding what makes a fulfilling position. This podcast episode is for you to get to know me but more importantly take away some important insights from my journey. The best place to find me right now is my LinkedIn here.
