How do you find one? When you're looking for a mentor, start by thinking about your career path and narrowing down a few leaders who have your dream job, or whom you admire, said Bill Driscoll, a district president for Accountemps. "Successful mentoring relationships happen when the mentor and mentee are the right match," Driscoll said. "Reach out to someone you think you are comfortable with, who can be a neutral sounding board, and [who] will also provide great advice." It is possible that your perfect adviser could find you by chance and offer his or her mentorship, but Domeyer said that being proactive in your search for your mentor (or mentors) is the best approach. "Try to meet as many experienced professionals as you can," she told Business News Daily. Once you've identified someone, "approach your potential mentor and the initial meeting as you would an interview. Be prepared to explain what you hope to learn from the individual and why you value his or her insights and expertise, as well as what you bring to the table. Don't take this phase lightly — you're laying the groundwork for a relationship that will hopefully last a lifetime." - See more at: http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/5943-how-to-choose-mentor.html#sthash.blGx9JFQ.dpuf
