As a mentee, you need to be in the driver's seat of your mentoring relationships--not in the passenger seat while your mentor makes all the important choices about your career. To have that control, you need to do a personal inventory and know your career goals. You need to be able to articulate where you would like to go over the next period of your career and beyond. Once you've articulated your goals clearly, your mentor will be better able to advise and guide you on possible steps and opportunities.
By knowing your goals, you will be in control of the path that you choose to take--and are more likely to be satisfied with your career decisions.
