Being A Mentee

---

Working with a mentor is a great way to develop and progress your career. Some of the benefits can include an increase in confidence and self-awareness, clarity on career paths/goals, gaining a different perspective or picking up useful contacts and information to help with your career.

There is no cost. Our mentors volunteer their time and we facilitate the process for free. All we ask is that you are fully committed before joining so everyone can make the most of it.

Alongside the priceless value of your mentors time and support you'll also get access to a community of other marketing experts, invites to exclusive events, free use of the MET Marketing city centre office space, discounts from selected partners and the opportunity to grow your own professional network.

It's less about your level and more about your aptitude for personal development. We've had mentees as recent graduates in their first jobs and others at Head of level looking to step up to board positions.

Having a mentor isn't about getting a new job. If you're specifically looking for a new job then please get in touch with our recruitment partner MET Marketing on hello@metmarketing.co.uk

On average you can expect to spend an hour or so with your mentor 4-8 times over the space of 12 months. Many do this through remote sessions with occasional face-to-face get togethers.

Our matching process is personalised. We ask all participants to list the skills and competencies that they are looking to either learn or share and we match you with a suitable partner. We always do our best to find you the perfect match! 

Through our personalised process we'll carefully match you with a mentor who matches your needs. We get mentors who are board level CMO's with 30 years experience and likewise have others who have 3-5 years experience and can help in the early stages of your career development.

Prior to being introduced to your mentor you will be invited to an online induction and during the process we will check-in at regular intervals. You will also be given the opportunity to provide feedback when we send out the mentee survey.

We do our best to find you the right match but very occasionally the chemistry might not be quite right. If either party wants to bring the match to an end, then we facilitate this in a co-ordinated manner. 

We support the relationships that we facilitate for a period of up to 12 months. After this point it's up to you how you want your relationship to continue.

You'll get matched with your mentor based on a number of factors through a human centric personalised proccess. You won't be able to specifically select an individual but we'll do that for you. 

We understand things can happen which make continuing in the programme difficult to do.   

If your situation changes, then please contact us and we can support you to end the mentoring relationship in a co-ordinated manner.

For more information you can contact us on 0113 898 0240, drop us an email on hello@metmentoring.co.uk or use one of the buttons on the site to contact us. 

We run new cohorts every 3-6 months. We'll be in touch with you a few weeks before running a matching session to reconfirm your availability and then shortly after matching to get the process started and arrange a welcome session for you and your fellow mentees.
