-
I'm having trouble deciding who to apply for, how do you pick a good mentor?That all depends on your career goals for the upcoming months- so ask yourself where do you want to be in half a year or year from now. Do you want to expand your company in a certain field? Start your own company? Or side business? Do you want to gain a particular skill set? Or maybe you want to move up within your corporation? Choosing a good mentor FOR YOU depends on a lot of things. But we’ve seen that a good mentor mentee relationship and successful outcomes mainly depends on good chemistry aka. you two get along and that the person can give you relevant advice and know-how that will help to excel in YOUR personal career. So ask yourself: “Will I vibe well with this person?” “How is their career and experience relevant to mine?” “How will it help me get to where I want to be in a certain period of time?” "How could my mentor actually benefit from my knowhow and skillset?"
-
How long is the mentoring program?The official mentoring period is for half a year. The current mentoring batch is running until December 2024. The fall batch will have applications open in October, and the batch itself will run from November 22, 2024 through to May 2025. However, some of the mentors will still be happy to support you after that period or even become friends.
-
Can I apply for a mentor who lives in another city?Absolutely.
