lawyer seeking mentor
I’m a big fan of mentoring, which I’ve discussed here before. This article does a nice job of guiding junior associates on the quest for mentors. Stating that there’s no magic formula for finding one, it compels seekers to: “Open your eyes and notice the mentors around you.” Look to those who provide great feedback on, or help with, work assignments. And instead of singling out just one, try building a mentor network so you can benefit from your colleagues’ different strengths and skills. “Take advantage of their collective wisdom and learn from their successes and their mistakes.” The writer also advises mentor hunters to broaden the scope of the search by culling advisors from such sources as bar groups and alumni associations.
