CAREER MENTORS Although mentorship is not practised widely in our country, it is extremely beneficial, especially during your internship. Basically, mentors are those who can give you careerrelated advice, help you make connections as well as write recommendations for you. Recommendations are words of acknowledgement of your abilities for your future employers’ reference. But how do I find a mentor, you ask? During your internship, you will be working with a lot of people from different departments. If you have a colleague who is helpful in answering work-related questions, works with you regularly and cares for both your personal and professional development, start having conversations regarding mentorship with them. If you’re in luck, sometimes your supervisor would even offer themselves to be your mentor.
