FAQs
Mentoring is the act of one individual sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, to help another person to develop and grow.
Almost everyone is ultimately capable of being a mentor. Anyone who believes they have experience or insight and can offer valuable support and advice to another individual can be a mentor.
A mentor can help with a huge number of aspects, such as an individual’s career, challenges they face and their achievements too. A mentor could help you with interview training, updating your resume or CV, providing insight into a certain industry, assisting you with staying connected to industry trends and standards, office or individual conflict, management challenges and a whole host of additional aspects of the working world.
The benefits are seen to be far clearer for the mentee, however, the benefits for a mentor are significant too. Being a mentor is a fantastic way to learn, develop and grow in one’s career. By mentoring someone else, a mentor will typically learn a lot by offering their support to a mentee.
