Finding the right Career Mentor
If you are looking to change your career, it may be in your best intrest to get a mentor in your career field of choice. A mentor should be able to help you through the difficulties that come with a career change. They may also be able to help you with contacts, job leads and other career advice. Finding a mentor is not a difficult process, but you should be wise when chosing your mentor.
Choose a well-established person. If your mentor is deeply rooted in their career, the more help they will be able to give you. Look for senior people within companies in your chosen career field through workshops, seminars and professional associations.
Once you have found a mentor, meet with them weekly for a set period of time. Don't bother your mentor outside that period. Respect their time.
