Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will my mentor find me a job?

No. Your mentor will guide you in your career development goals by providing advice, information, and guidance. You are responsible for your own job search.

2. Do we always need to meet in person?

Short-term career investigations will normally occur on the phone or via email correspondence. It is recommended that longer-term partnerships meet in-person whenever possible, but telephone, on-line meetings, and email may be used as well.

3. Will I be involved in the mentor matching process?

The information that you provided in your application form will be used to match you with a mentor in the field you selected. ASET staff will use the database to coordinate matches and will inform you about your mentor when this is complete.

4. What happens if I don’t get along with my mentor?

Please contact the ASET office should you run into any difficulties throughout your mentorship. If there is incompatibility for any reason, you and your mentor will be asked to comment so appropriate follow-up action can be taken including matching you with a new mentor, if needed.

5. I am having trouble completing my mentorship goals, who should I go to for help?

Your goals will be reviewed with your mentor during your first meeting. Should you require assistance prior to this, please contact the ASET office.
