When considering a mentoring relationship, find someone who is honest.
It may help to look outside of your workplace or outside of your
department because your immediate co-workers may not always be
comfortable giving the advice or guidance that you need is someone to
bounce ideas off of to make sure they make sense. AWIS has great resources on mentoring (Sherri Marts)
My focus is networking and career development for women in science. That's why I like the multi-disciplinary nature of AWIS. The women are from all sectors of the work force. As a member of the San Diego chapter of AWIS, I got to learn about networking and how powerful it can be. (Holly Soutter) Join an AWIS Chapter today
