Keep in mind, the more selections you make, the more likely you will find someone. For example, if you need advice in marketing and finance, you will get the all mentors who have indicated experience in either area. Your search will give you the e-mail addresses of the individuals and a quick glimpse at what experience they have. You can review their mini-resumes and decide who you would like to be mentored by. Remember to keep your contact with your mentor on a professional level.
Mentors have careers, families, projects and their own deadlines and responsibilities.
Monitor the time and the amount of contact you have with them and show appreciation whenever you can. The only reward mentors get is seeing the positive changes and improvements that occur based on their involvement. If you need additional help, please click here for tips for the mentored.
