Don’t worry if you don’t feel like an industry pro, a CV expert or an assessment centre guru. You’re not expected to be. Mentoring is all about reflecting on your own experience and giving your mentee insights and guidance that you’ve learned along the way. Landing a role in a top industry is enough to make you a great mentor.
For your mentee, the first few sessions may feel a bit daunting, especially when speaking to a professional working in a role that they aspire to be in. What’s important is to show up, be open and make your mentee feel comfortable. You’ll create a strong relationship in no time.
