Finding a personal mentor can be a challenge, but the hard work is worth the reward. Mentors can serve as a source of personal and career guidance, be a role model and provide their mentees access to learning and career resources.
Some questions to ask yourself as you search for a personal career mentor
Am I comfortable with this person?
Do I admire this person professionally?
Would I be able to discuss my career candidly and confidentially with this person?
Is this person's career one I would like to emulate?
Is this person well-respected by peers and colleagues?
Is this person part of a well-established professional network?
Is the person positive, enthusiastic and helpful?
Am I personally ready to commit my time and energy to developing a mentor-mentee relationship?
Best of luck!
