Calling All Mentors - CareerEnlightenment.com

What can I offer people who already have jobs?Well, I share with them my own experience and knowledge, research, relevant articles and links, or pertinent legal regulation (helps to have a law degree), and even topics of interest, i.e., women’s issues, minority/diversity interests, etc.   Look at all that you have to offer. Never devalue that. The people you are asking information from may indeed find it of considerable value!I am most happy when I can serve as the “connector” between and among my connections.The most amazing and ironic gift is that but for being in job transition, I would not have made these new and inspirational friends, advisers, and mentors. And I am grateful for this opportunity.Their generosity inspires me to reach out to others who may be hesitant during their own job search.   And in full circle, I too find myself coaching and mentoring others (something that I truly enjoy).Here is my homework for you: call or email just one person who is job searching right there next to you.   Offer them your time, whether it be to talk about work, family or world events.   Human contact is the food that nourishes us all, and positive inspiration is the dessert.   Pay it forward!
