Your profile is the cornerstone of your presence on my.mentorlane.com, you will be able to find all your mentoring offers (‘listings’) and relationships here.
4. Create your Mentor Listing
a. Title and Description
You can now create a listing on the platform, just click on “offer new mentorship” in the header of my.mentorlane.com. Think of a few key points or a motto that you can use to title your entry and draft a description for your mentoring offer. Don’t scrimp on the details – the description should help mentees to find their perfect mentor! Share anecdotes from your career or challenges you have had to overcome. However, don’t give out your name, contact information, or links to external content that could make you personally identifiable. Consequently, only qualified mentees can contact you through our platform.
b. Your Mentorship Offering
Once you’ve found a good title and description, you can specify your offerings as a mentor. What are your specific skills? Would you like to offer fee-based mentoring services in addition to unpaid commitments? How often would you like to meet up with mentees and in which languages can you support them?
5. You’re all set!
As soon as you have created your listing, we will check the information you provided and activate your offer on our platform. Mentees can now find you on my.mentorlane.com and get in touch with you. You can also connect with other mentors to drive your professional exchanges.
Happy Mentoring!
