If your session gets rescheduled, make sure to decide new date and time with your mentor.
During the session: 🤝
When you have a mentoring session scheduled, it's important to make the most of your time together. 🤝Start by catching up with your mentor and sharing any updates since your last session. Reviewing your notes from your previous session can also be helpful, as you can discuss any progress you've made or challenges you've faced. This will help you both get on the same page and set an agenda for the rest of your time together.
While you're in a mentoring session, it's important to take 📝 notes to help you remember the key takeaways. Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek clarification if you're unsure about something. Remember that your mentor is there to assist you with any career concerns or challenges you're experiencing. Feel free to share what's on your mind and ask for advice on how to tackle any issues you're facing.

Even if you have doubts, the chat is the perfect place to clear them up.
💡 Make sure to maintain a frequency of having at least 1 session per week to maintain your preparation consistency. Connecting with your mentor over a call helps a lot in clearing your doubts and enables you to stay motivated toward your preparation
