Career Anxieties and the Faced

Challenges

When you are faced with challenges in your way to your career development, anxieties may often surround you with varied thoughts. You may often find it difficult to keeping up with your progress towards your set career goals.  According to seniors, and the people who have already succeeded in accomplishing their career goals, the best option in such situations is to gain the support of an established person.  A mentor being experienced and knowledgeable in the specific area serves as a teacher and counselor for a less experienced person.  Gaining support of a mentor can provide such benefits as personal training, access to influential people, and support during the difficult times. 

However, how can one possibly find a mentor? The knowledge we learn, most of it comes from our school and college learning.  Our teachers and professors happens to be our best mentors.  One can choose someone from them as their mentor based on how they find them in terms of their approach, qualifications and accomplishments. 

How you can one gain support from a mentor?  Depends on your performance record.  Your high level of achievements in your learning can be impressive that can make your mentor to accept you as a student.  It may require you to maintain visibility, display the desire to learning, and asking questions and volunteering for new assignments.
