29/30 is far from older. Mentorship can also be sideways
Right?! Finding a good mentor is really about finding someone in the trajectory of your career path, just farther down the road. It’s just a matter of identifying a person and investing in conversation to see if there is mutual interest. I will also tell you, you may want to be thoughtful about how you position your value back to a potential mentor, because it should really serve to benefit you both. Also, if you were truly “older” an executive coach might be a better fit than a mentor depending on life and career stage.
I'm 30 and I just started.
I learn from everyone in this industry, and mentors love that I have different experiences from different industries.
Found my first mentors this year, I’m 27
Found them through reaching out, participating in programs through work. Being eager asking questions, being interesting enough to where they look forward to talk to me
Thank you both!! Definitely great perspective.
