What it is

What an online career mentor actually does.

An online career mentor helps you think through a specific career question using their professional experience and perspective. Instead of generic career advice, you can discuss your situation directly with someone who has already faced similar decisions.

What it is

A focused conversation with a working professional who can share practical perspective based on their own career experience.

  • Discuss your specific situation
  • Ask follow-up questions
  • Learn from real career experience
  • Explore your options and trade-offs

What it is not

A generic career course or a one-size-fits-all answer to your career decisions.

  • No generic motivational advice
  • No fixed career path for everyone
  • No substitute for doing your own research
  • No guarantee of a particular career outcome

Mentor, coach or counsellor

Career mentor vs career coach vs career counsellor: what's the difference?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they can describe different types of support. Understanding the difference can help you choose the right kind of conversation for your situation.

Why online

Online isn't a compromise. It's what makes career mentorship accessible.

You don't need to be in the same city as your mentor. Online sessions make it easier to find professionals based on their experience rather than their location.

Your city stops mattering

Find relevant professional experience without limiting your search to people in your immediate location.

Evenings and weekends work

Choose available sessions that fit around college, work and other commitments.

Nothing to travel for

Join your session online instead of spending time travelling to meet someone in person.

The conversation stays with you

Use the online format to focus on the conversation, questions and next steps.

What you can talk about

Bring the career question you keep circling.

You don't need to have a perfectly defined career problem. Start with the decision you're trying to make and find a mentor with relevant experience.
