True mentors-- like friendships are organic things, nurtured and grown over time between individuals. Still if you're seeking specific advice from Old Seasoned Pros-- use the advanced search feature on Linkedin. Zero-in on professional profiles with the experience and expertise that you're looking for. Reach out, ask for 10-15 minutes of their time via phone or Skype with a specific question they'll likely be able to answer. Make a friend, use reciprocity-- ask how you might be able to assist them. Assuming there's good tonality in your conversation. Make a point to stay in touch. If you work on it, the relationship builds over time.
