As a talent acquisition specialist, Stephanie Chappell Disbrow has hired hundreds of people throughout her career for several different companies. She has seen the people that she’s hired go on to become very successful in their chosen fields. Having a mentor can help people in any field further their career and stay motivated when they are struggling. Here’s just a few of the ways that professional mentors can help your career.
- When you are struggling with a decision, or need more instruction or advice than you would get from a traditional supervisor, a mentor can give you the in coaching that you need. They can sit down with you and work through things step by step until you feel comfortable with things, and they can also take the time to help you develop your professional skills fully. This can give you a huge edge over people without a mentor.
- Mentors can also provide important emotional support through difficult times at work. Almost everyone experiences stressful situations at some point or another throughout their career, but a mentor has likely been through the same problems that you have, and will know just how to help you push through them.
- Mentors often will have connections with people in your field that can help you. If you need an ‘in’ at some point to further your career, they will likely be able to give you that little jump start you need to get a project going.
Stephanie Chappell Disbrow has learned the value of mentoring throughout her career as a talent acquisition specialist, and hopes to continue to mentor more in the future.
