Episode #13: Getting out of your Comfort Zone to Secure a Training Contract

Our guest in this episode is Emma Burton, a future trainee at Baker McKenzie. If you think of yourself as an introvert, we think you’ll especially relate to this episode. Emma explains how that isn’t a barrier to securing a training contract and how pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and being well prepared can help you along the way. She also explains how she managed to convert such a high proportion of her applications to interviews and how candidates can stand out on their vacation schemes. A big shoutout to Upreach as Emma explains the difference they made to her application journey. This episode is hosted by: Jaysen Sutton.
