Ask a Mentor Service (short-term mentoring)
For short-term mentoring, our Ask a Mentor Service (open to students from any level of study) offers you the chance to be matched with one of our professional mentors for a one-off conversation.
This one-off mentoring session can be used to ask for career advice on a range of topics, for example, guidance on job/internship searches, job application or interview preparation tips, or for asking industry-specific questions.
