Finding a mentor

Written by Clarke Simmons, JobsArticle.com


Few people know what they want to do with their life when they are at school, in fact even when you have left school or gone to college it’s very difficult to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life.

The problem is that most people don’t want to make a decision now that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Many people are quite content just meandering along in dead end jobs. However if you really want to make something of yourself then you will need to spend time coming up with a good plan to land a good career.

Planning your career

Whether you’re just starting your very first full time job, or whether you’re in university or college, or even if you already have a job you should consider finding a mentor to help you with your career. Career advisors are experienced people who have specialist experience of your industry. They are in a position to share this information with you so that you can avoid making the same mistakes that they did. If you find the right mentor then it can work wonders with your career, before you can find a mentor however you have to do some planning and make sure that you’re ready.

Spend some time deciding exactly what it is you want to do for a living, of course this isn’t cast in stone and you can change it later on if you like.
