Tips for your first consultation:

Think about:

• What do you expect from this mentor?
• How often would you like to connect?
• What is your preferred method of communication (i.e. RSM MentorMe tools, telephone, email, Skype, in person)?
   

Get to know your mentor. You could ask:

• Have you had a mentor of your own before? Have they been a mentor for someone else before? What did you learn from your experience of mentoring?
• Tell me about your RSM experience. What did you like best about it? What was the most useful part of it?
• How did you transition from business school to the professional world?
• Would you be willing to review my resume, cover letter, or help me practice my interview skills?
• You could ask about a current event or issue in your field of interest.
• May I keep in touch with you and let you know my progress?
