Ask a Mentor Service (short-term mentoring) 

For short-term mentoring, our Ask a Mentor Service offers you the chance to be matched with one of our professional mentors for a one-off conversation. 

This one-off mentoring session can be used to ask for career advice on a range of topics, for example, guidance on job/internship searches, job application or interview preparation tips, or for asking industry-specific questions. 

Open all year round for students at any level, you can apply via Engage here.
