“Through this program, I went on a self-discovery journey and learnt a lot more about myself through it. It not only helped me to navigate my thoughts in a better way but also to be confident about the choices that I wanted to make in my career path and life journey as well. I would definitely recommend the mentorship program to other students as it would direct and guide them towards the right direction and path for their journey.” Antara Vaidya - MA Business Management (Career Mentoring Mentee – Cycle 1 2023/24)
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 to all students, you can apply via Engage.
“The Ask a Mentor programme has been a discovery for me and game-changing in my job hunting. I spent around five months applying for roles trying to get my foot in the professional field and I have been rejected over and over again. When I got the chance to have a Mentor from Westminster, that boosted my chances and I have received an offer within weeks. I am extremely happy with the experience, I will definitely use the service again and I will highly recommend it to all students and recent graduates.” Salka Mulud Ammi - LLM International Law Graduate (Ask a Mentor-Mentee 2022)
