Signia Marketing Careers – Finding a Mentor
q:
I am 26 years old. Is it too late for me to find a mentor?
a:
You can and should always be looking for a new mentor. A mentor is any person who can answer questions about a particular field and give you the necessary perspective on how best to grow and evolve for the marketplace. To accomplish this, you will want to find someone new to sit down with and pose these questions:
- Tell me what you love about your job.
- Tell me what you find fulfilling in your daily tasks.
- What do you wish you had known when you were ten years younger?
Take the time to listen, and then see if it is advice you can translate to your own career. Repay your mentor by helping them figure out something you know how to do well.
