“I had a very positive experience with my mentor and I am truly grateful for the time, support, and guidance they provided throughout our sessions. From the very beginning, my mentor was extremely kind, approachable, and available, which made it easy to communicate openly, ask questions, and discuss both my goals and uncertainties about the next steps in my career.
One of the most valuable parts of the mentoring experience was the work we did together on my LinkedIn profile. We essentially rebuilt and improved it from scratch, carefully going through my previous experiences, skills, and achievements and discussing how to present them in a clearer and more effective way. My mentor helped me understand how important it is to have a strong and well-structured LinkedIn profile and how to use it to communicate my strengths, professional interests, and career goals. The feedback and practical suggestions I received were extremely useful, and I now feel much more confident about how I present myself professionally online.
Beyond my LinkedIn profile, I particularly appreciated the practical tips and honest advice my mentor shared with me about how to approach the next steps in my career. The guidance was not limited to improving my online presence, but also helped me think more strategically about where I want to go and how I can get there. I received valuable suggestions on how to position myself, what aspects of my profile to focus on, and how to approach future opportunities more effectively.
Another aspect I appreciated was my mentor’s willingness to listen and adapt the conversations to my specific needs. I never felt that the sessions were generic or simply followed a predefined structure. Instead, the discussions were tailored to my situation, which made the advice much more relevant and actionable. My mentor was patient when explaining things, encouraging when I had doubts, and constructive when pointing out areas where I could improve.
Overall, this mentoring experience gave me both practical tools and greater confidence in taking the next steps in my professional journey. I came away with a significantly improved LinkedIn profile, a clearer understanding of how to communicate my experience and strengths, and a better idea of how to approach my future career development.
I would definitely recommend this mentor to anyone looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Their kindness, availability, and practical approach made the experience extremely valuable, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort they dedicated to helping me.”
Wait a couple of hours, don't leave a second message.
That.
Also -- If you can't get a hold of him the second time you call and he doesn't call you back by the end of the day you might shoot him a quick email saying that you tried to reach him as per his request and that you are very much interested in speaking with him and are available at his convenience.
IMO -- Doing so reaffirms to him your interest in the internship and building a relationship w/ him while showing that you respect his time and busy schedule. Curious as to what others think. I've used it several times with much success, but there is also the chance I've just been lucky not to piss someone off yet.
I called him around ~12 pm eastern time. Would it be better to call him at around ~5 pm eastern time if I did a second time? Then email him if he doesn't pick up the 2nd time.
People are leaving usually at 5PM (MD's anyway). Since its towards end of the day I doubt he would want to get caught up in phone call that doesn't involve a client. I would shoot him an email tomorrow morning then a call.
That's what I would do, maybe someone with better experience can chime in.
Sure about that?
A little extracted, i've seen some leave at 5 most tend to leave at 6 or 6 30
