Who is a mentor?

I would say, a Mentor is an experienced and knowledgeable person in a particular field whose role is guiding, supporting and coaching another less experienced and knowledgeable person in that same field.

I place finding a Mentor as top of the list for every one seeking to make swift career advancements. The list of benefits is endless but I'll tell you just a few.

🎗 A mentor helps you avoid avoidable mistakes.

They won't watch you make the same mistakes they've made. You'll be learning from their experiences.

🎗 A mentor is more experienced and advanced in the field and therefore has some helpful connections that'll make your career journey easy. 

E.g. they can help recommend you to other top professionals in the field for job opportunities.

🎗 A mentor helps you make informed decisions. 

🎗 A mentor helps you develop or improve key skills at usually little cost. 

I'm sure you like these benefits. Who wouldn't?
