How do you maintain such mentor relationships? I found a very inspiring mentor at a place I interned at this summer, that I'm due to return to full time in coming months. But I'm not sure on how to continue this moving forward, as the previous was an intern program relationship, and I'm now full time.
- greedo 3y agoI've found treating mentors the same as friends can work. Keep in contact via whatever means you used during your internship (email/chat/voice). It can be a balancing act where you don't want to be a leech, only taking and no giving. But it is a professional friendship. You have to like and trust your mentor to give you sound, unfiltered advice, without compromising their own integrity. Being a mentor can be a real challenge too!
