Sponsored by聽, the competition for the Law award involved three individual stages, including an online application, judgement and reasoning tests and an assessment centre.

Commenting on her reaction to winning the award, Cara said: 鈥淚t came as a huge surprise when my name was called out on Friday as winner. I was already ecstatic to have made the shortlist given the standard of competition.

鈥淚鈥檓 very grateful to TARGETJobs for organising the awards and to Mayer Brown for their sponsorship. Everyone who I have met from the firm thus far, both at their assessment day and award ceremony, have been absolutely lovely.

鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to joining them this summer and gaining an insight into the work that they do, since at this stage of my studies I am still making my mind up as to the precise legal career I wish to pursue. Each opportunity such as this, which offers me the chance to learn more about potential employers, is invaluable.鈥
