A mentor can be compared to a guide on a hiking route. Say you want to conquer a difficult peak, get over it and reach your goal. Without a guide you might make it on your own, but you will take quite a few bumps along the way, or get scared halfway and turn back. It depends on how hard the route is. A guide has walked this road many times. They will show you the safest path and support you on the most difficult stretches.
How do you know a mentor is right for you?
1. Experience, certificates and area of expertise matter
When choosing a mentor, read their profile on the site carefully. Choose based on the competencies and the industries of the companies where they have current or past work experience that suit you. With relevant experience, a mentor will find it easier to understand your task and explain everything they know as clearly as possible. Our personal HR consultant will always help you choose the best specialist from over 100 first-class experts in IT, business, HR, and coaching.
2. Your goal matters
When you meet, describe your request in detail and do not hesitate to ask the questions that interest you. That way you can see how ready the mentor is to work on your task and how clear their answers are.
3. Comfortable communication matters
Trust your feelings, because comfortable communication with a mentor will help you understand the topic better. It is important that you find common ground and can talk freely. If you would like to change experts, tell us as early as possible and before the end of the consultation. We will definitely find a suitable option for you.
