You're feeling stuck in your career. How can you find a mentor to help you move forward?

A career journey from the moment you leave university, college or high school through to the day you retire should never be conducted alone. Seek a trusted friend, current or ex-colleague or a coach to be at your side through what is often a bumpy and frustrating ride. Everyone needs to be picked up, a cheerleader who can provide solace, opinions and ideation. Constantly update your career plan and seek their input and embrace the negative and positive thoughts they inject to help you reach your career goals. Enjoy the career journey. It is yours, not your employers.

At first start small to explore different technologies. Surf the internet and at one point after knowing almost all fields you'll be feeling amazed with something and start feeling to do that. When you get this point to your mind don't waste even one second start Using every mb(megabyte) of mobile data to your field of interest.

You don't need to know what every single step in the journey looks like, you just need to know what your end goal is. Working with a mentor and collaboration will help you through the steps to achieve your goal.

Here are key points I share with my clients who are looking for mentors: - Start with self-reflection - See item 1 above! - Choose the suitable communication medium that your mentor prefers (not you!) - Express gratitude - Provide a clear, concise request - Pick an inviting subject line if you're sending an email - Stay flexible in your mentorship format - Offer to reciprocate with skills or insights - Exhibit patience and professionalism I discuss this in more detail in episode 209 of The Job Hunting Podcast :)

I've hired multiple mentors throughout my career and I've also began Coaching, Advising, and Consulting other founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Each mentor that I have found including each entrepreneur that I coach/mentor has come from organic Linkedin research. These days, the coaching guru's have very sophisticated marketing machines set up to get you into their funnel and push out content to you until you want to throw up. Personal Connection is key. Finding those that align with your WHY is key. Working with those that are ahead of you is key. When you look - you find - in my experience. Congrats on taking the first step which is recognizing the need for a tribe... - Andy Smith, Blue Collar Founder.

I’m a firm believer that everyone should have multiple mentors. Mentors can help you in lots of different ways. You might have a WTH mentor that gives you a gut check when you’re going through difficult situations at work. You may have a mentor who helps you with a specific targeted skill set like excel. People who can help you both inside your company and outside of your company. Gaining fresh perspective is always beneficial.

My View to this: ?Explore. ?Connect. ?Grow. ?Try to build alike minds around you if not possible try online, but build. ?Then they will be your friends,mentor's and everything. (You know alike minds never divide)

The most important thing is not to waste someone’s time. Get very clear on the kind of help you want to meet that some goals and boundaries. How often do you want to meet? What are the specific things you would like to learn from them? How do you need them to lean in and help you? How do you like to get FIFA? All of these things can help separate relationship up for success.

Setting up a structure for you, need sitting and writing it! So,use your knowledge of field till now and try to make a structured way of doing tasks. You might already experimented a lot with in your life, use that experience to make a structure which fits for your brain and body. If it fits then you'll definitely follow up that so called structured way.

Join communities that align with your interests. There are many groups and communities that offer free or low fee mentor services, depending on the type that you need. You need to ensure you know what a mentor can help you with the most first, then begin your search. Network within those communities and set up coffee chats. You neer know when someone either offers to mentor you or can direct you to another community that offers these services.
