Speed Mentoring FAQs
What kind of questions should I ask the coach? Your questions should focus on job descriptions, duties and requirements for a particular area you are interested in.
Should I give my resume to the coach? Yes, this a great opportunity for an objective review of your resume and how it can be better targeted for your career goals.
Can I see more than one coach? Yes, however you can only make two appointments initially on-line on a first come, first served basis. Additional appointments may be scheduled once the Speed Mentoring sessions begin.
