Mentoring Objectives & Scope
For the past 7 years, I have mentored college students and early-career professionals on job searching, networking, interview skills, resume building, and enhancing LinkedIn profiles.
I ask that you show up for our 1:1 meetings with a clear idea of your goals for the season and for each meeting.
When and where do you hold meetings with your students?
Hybrid (mix of in-person and virtual) I am flexible on meeting cadence and locations. Ideally, we would meet in person but happy to accommodate some virtual sessions as appropriate.
