Mentor

Quintessential Careers succinctly explains what a mentor is:

"A person at a higher level within a company or within your profession who counsels you and helps guide your career. Some organizations have formal mentoring systems, while most informal mentoring relationships develop over time."

Your mentor may be an "email buddy" through a college program such as DO-IT Scholars, an older student or your college advisor, someone in your professional organization, someone you meet during National Disability Mentoring Day, or even someone from work (as part of a formal company program or as an informal relationship).

Having a mentor benefits not only your search for a job but your ability to have successful job interviews, rewarding work experiences and a promising career.
