How To Find A Mentor

Have you ever thought of getting yourself a mentor?

It pays to have a helping hand to get ahead in the workplace whether you’re transitioning between roles or switching into a whole new field. Most of us can benefit from having a mentor or sponsor at our back to teach, promote and encourage us.

Think of it like real experience guiding you through rather than you figuring it out yourself. I personally know people who have the blessings of finding themselves quality mentor’s which has helped them a great deal. The job market and the whole corporate environment is way different today and some guidance will definitely go a long way. For all you know you might have something to offer to your mentor.

There are heaps of tips on how to find a mentor but i would say take your time and find one that you feel can help you progress both professionally and as a person. It will go a long way …..

But How do you Find a Mentor?

1. Ask yourself what you want in a mentor or sponsor.

Is it an expert who can help with a specific business challenge—asking for a raise, say, or ways to spiff up your image with the proper dress for success attire? Do you want someone inside your workplace who has the inside track to be an advocate for your project or promotion, or someone who can act as a more general sounding board and big-picture guide?

2. Check your employer’s human resources department to see if they have a mentoring program.

Many big corporations– General Mills, Intel, Ernst & Young, Proctor & Gamble, American Express, Cisco, Citi, Deloitte, Intel, Morgan Stanley and Time Warner offer sponsorship and mentoring programs. Entrepreneurs might tap into industry associations or SCORE.org, a nonprofit association and resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

3. Look outside the office. Mentoring doesn’t have to be a “business” relationship.

You can find mentors outside the workplace from associations you belong to, activities you’re involved in, neighbors, and relatives.

4. Do an Advanced People Search on LinkedIn.

You might search for someone from your alma mater. College ties do bind. You type in a title and your university, for example, current vice presidents of marketing and attended Duke University. You can focus the search on your zip code or town, so you can connect with someone nearby.

5. Consider a mentor younger than you.

50-plus workers might want to tap someone who may be junior in age, but can offer more experience and guidance when it comes to new fields and areas like technology where they might not be quite as fluent.

6. Practice your “Why Me” speech.

This is a sales job. Landing a sponsor calls for self-promotion. You must toot your own horn, aka, your accomplishments to get a higher-ups attention. They aren’t going to back someone who doesn’t have the potential to be a winner and make them look good. Skip the modest approach.
