1 Identify your needs

Before you start looking for a mentor, you need to have a clear idea of what kind of problem solving skills you want to improve, what kind of problems you want to solve, and what kind of goals you want to achieve. This will help you narrow down your search and focus on finding a mentor who can match your needs and expectations. You can use a SMART framework to define your problem solving objectives, which means they should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

3. Walkthrough the issue in detail- it's human tendency to assume and that's where we end up doing such mistake that seems much controllable or avoidable. So, do not assume at all.

If your preferred mentor agrees to mentor you, you need to build a relationship with them based on trust, respect, and mutual benefit. You can do this by setting clear expectations, communicating regularly, giving and receiving feedback, showing gratitude, and celebrating successes. You can also ask them questions, seek advice, share ideas, and learn from their experiences and perspectives. You want to make the most of your mentoring relationship and show them that you value their time, expertise, and support.

4. It is not a crime to explain the issue in detail again- if the prospect mentor has habit to know the detail prior to handle the task then do explain.
