Mentoring Objectives & Scope

The student's needs are the focus of my mentoring sessions, whether they involve career planning and gap analysis, fine-tuning a resume and personal marketing collateral, the development of a practical networking plan, practice interviews, or just a discussion on successes/failures we have jointly had in the past, and what we have learned from them. Objectives are agreed upon at our first meeting, as we will use them to guide our discussions in the future. Bottom line: The sessions will be focused on what the STUDENT wants/needs, as well as being informal and fun.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

100% in person. Prefer in person near campus or on the Eastside. Timing is totally flexible.
