Candidate One keeps all appointments but never finds time to do the work in between. Meetings with the candidate only last 45 minutes because there is relatively little to discuss. Candidate 2 misses appointments without notice and then 'phones up, keen to talk about ideas, staying on the 'phone for hours but not actually following this through into setting pen to paper. Candidate 3 is highly motivated to continue studying. Keeps appointments and does all that is asked in producing written work.
Meetings are focused and cover a useful amount of ground to follow up in between.
Mentoring sessions last about 1.5 hours.
