How to Find a Career Mentor

How to Find a Career MentorHow to Find a Career MentorA career berater is someone who shares their knowledge and expertise with you in order to help you set goals, fix problems, and make good choices along your career path. I have been privileged to have career mentors who have helped me throughout my career. Career Mentors Teach About Business The first was my supervisorin many years ago. He taught me just about everything I know about business and about communicating effectively with people. He also helped me move up the career ladder at our company, helped with my job search, and continued to provide advice when I moved on. Another part who mentored me was someone with vast experience writing about careers. When she and I first met, I had recently transitioned from Human Resources, and she shared her advice and wisdom. Over the years, she has also helped promote my expertise, my books, and my other work. I wouldnt be where I am today without the assistance of my career mentors . A good career mentor, just like my mentors, voluntarily provides that career advice and assistance. The relationship youll have with your mentor will be ongoing- your mentor can guide you throughout the life of your career. Its a relationship that can last a very long time. A mentor can be indispensable both when youre starting out and when youre moving up the career ladder. How do you find a mentor? It can be easier than you think. Brian Kurth, founder, VocationVacations Career Mentorship Experiences, and author of Test-Drive Your Dream Job A Step-By-Step Guide to Finding and Creating the Work You Love, shares his tips and advice on finding a career mentor Who and How to Ask for Help Perhaps the most important step in pursuing a dream job is to find someone who already works in that field who can offer guidance and advice as you proceed. I know that sounds intimidating, but it doesnt have to be. Believe it or not, this is not as difficult as it might sound. In my experience, many people express fear at the prospect of asking a total stranger for help as a prospective mentor. Why would they want to help you, after all? The answer is easy People like helping other people. By asking a prospective mentor for help, youre letting them know you admire them for what they do and that their career is in demand. Its a good feeling, and many people are happy knowing their experiences and insights are valuable to others. Its not universal, of course, and not everyone will see it this way. You may run into a person you think might be a mentorship candidate who doesnt care what people think and isnt interested in helping you along your career path. But as you continue asking around, youll be surprised at just how receptive many people are. Of course, not all mentor candidates will be strangers. You may have a former boss, professor, family member, or friend who may be able to help you. Tips for Finding a Good Career Mentor Even with a few words of encouragement, t he idea of searching for and finding a career mentor may seem scary, so here are a few tips to get you started If youre brand new or changing careers, it may be a good idea to research the field and find out about the top people who are in it.Learn what you can about their background, education, and even common interests.Create a list of people who seem like they might be good fits for you and your career goals.Start contacting the people on your list but go slowly with each one. Start with a polite and formal email to introduce yourself and see who responds.Be patient- your potential mentor candidates may be busy, and it could take a day or two for any of them to respond. Try to form a relationship with them and get to know their personalities even as you try to exhibit yours. Like so many other things, when you find the right mentor, youll know it. The guidance and advice from a good career mentor may be just what you need to guide you through your next set of career steps. Good l uck, and who knows- maybe someday someone will be contacting you to be their mentor.

Difficult people and clarity

Difficult people and clarityDifficult people and clarityAs I look back on the challenges my clients are dealing with right now I see two common themes difficult people and lack of clarity.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreFirst, people are difficult for one reason they are insecure and unhappy. That shouldnt become your problem, but often difficult people exude what looks like confidence. This gets them promoted to high-level positions. That perceived confidence is a smoke screen to hide what is behind the sand they kick up. Underneath they feel unqualified, ineffective and ultimately that they may lose respect, their job and be alone. Knowing this your goals are1. Make sure they know you have their back even though they will never have yours.2. Preface your suggestions in alignment with what they value. Since I know this is important to you.3. Stay off their radar screen. Dont play into their chaos. Dont meet with them unless necessary. Give them choices as it underscores their power. Dont posture to be favored. Let others live in the chaos.4. If you feel you are a target, repeat steps 1 to 3.These steps are difficult especially when you dont care for the person. Therefore, you must check your ego at the door. Dont battle a difficult person. They are meaner than you and you will lose. Be smart. Know how to interact with them in a way that makes them trust you and leave you alone. Let them focus on others who need more attention.Secondly, regarding clarity it is not found on the treadmill to nowhere. Continually trying new things and making changes for the sake of change will not work. Rediscover your internal drivers. Name the single thought that holds you back and tell yourself many times each day that you are releasing that. What did you love to do as a child? Make some time to be somewhere where you have nothing to do but enjoy the environment. Listen to old music. Take free personality tests to uncover more about yourself. Be able to describe your strengths and weaknesses. What three things do you value more than anything? What could you do if you had the time?When you willingly release what holds you back and make space to realign your values with your strengths clarity evolves organically.Retire the treadmill to nowhere and your egos need to seek approval from unkind people.
