 Dear Career Coach My company has introduced a new policy which is to encourage us to find mentors. To be honest, I'm not sure how to go about it and what good it will really do me. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks, Emmet, London A mentor, quite simply, is a trusted counselor or teacher who can advise someone and serve as an example. Having a mentor in your workplace will give you the opportunity to get exposure to and learn from someone who has experience of how your organisation works and what it takes to become successful.

Of course, this means that it is critical to choose your mentor wisely in order to get the best out of the relationship.
