*There is a question in the poster for all of you:*

Looking forward to your responses!

Hello Mentors!

We hope you are having a good week and everyone having exciting conversations with their mentees!

Here is a question for you all:

*How did you feel before & after your first call with your mentees?*😇

Dear Mentors,

You are all pursuing different and interesting careers. We would love to know how you identified your career interest! Please do share with us here. You could also share about your journey with your mentees this week. It will help them learn how to explore careers :)

Happy Mentoring!

Here is the answer - On average, Indian students are aware of just *7 careers.*

You can help your mentees learn about more careers by encouraging them to make a free account on careershala.co!

Dear Mentors,

Your mentees must be curious to know about different careers and might be asking queries regarding the same.

Can you share what are the top 3 careers your mentees are interested in?

If your mentees have not shared it yet, this week is a good opportunity to discuss this with your mentees. :)

Please do share with us when you get to know it!!

Happy Mentoring! :)

Dear Mentors,

This week help your mentees learn more about making a career choice by exploring different career options available to them.

Happy Mentoring!! :)

Dear Mentors,

It is always easier to reach the destination when you know the path.

This week help your mentees make their own career plan to reach their career of interest!

Happy Mentoring!! :)
