During my mentorship at Barclays, I received valuable advice that helped me as I prepared to enter the workforce. My mentor not only guided me in my career but also arranged a mock interview with one of his associates at Goldman Sachs. This gave me a chance to practice in a high-pressure interview setting, helping me feel more prepared for what was to come."
