On-the-job mentor
A mentor is a person with extensive professional experience who assists and supports a person with less experience, the mentoree.
Advantages of on-the-job mentoring
Mentorees have access to useful advice and tools that can help them become self-reliant, develop a vision, achieve professional objectives, and rise to the challenges of planning their career. In addition, mentorees can look to their mentor’s network for help when their mentor lacks the expertise needed to meet one of their needs.
Finding an on-the-job mentor
Some large businesses have formal mentoring programs. Smaller businesses may take a more informal approach and leave it up to you to ask a more experienced staff member to act as your mentor.
