Question by Isha on Sep 29, 2021Hindi

Career

Dear Sir,
I am young and new at the workplace.
I have read that mentorship is important for your career.
How does one go about finding the right mentor?
How does one approach them?
Also, if you are approaching a mentor of the opposite sex, how does one ensure that one is not giving the wrong signal?
Thank you.
Isha

Ans:

Most good organisations have a formal system of mentorship.

But you don't have to wait to be assigned a mentor. You can approach anyone in the organisation or outside who you consider a role model.

Gender is not a consideration at all as long as your intentions are clear.

All interactions between a mentor and mentee must be open and formal and within the professional sphere.

Approach a mentor formally and keep the interactions documented.

Question by Gurvinder - Dec 23, 2021Hindi

Career

Dear Sir, I read about mentors in your column. I did not know about this. Can you please explain who is a mentor and how they can help your career? Does every job need a mentor? Thank you, Gurvinder

A mentor is someone who guides us and helps us navigate through our career.

A mentor is a senior who you respect and can share your thoughts and concerns with.

It is not mandatory to have a mentor but having a mentor is always a good support system.

Ans: Entrepreneurship is flying the plane as you are making it.. you will never have 100% clarity or resources. Start small and then grow. Customer support management is a good business opportunity. You can start with that, if you have experience in this area.

Question by ASHISH - Jul 22, 2024Hindi

Career

Sir, My daughter is in 10th this year. She wants to go in research line like microbiology or similar kind. She prefers ICMR Delhi as of now. Please suggest what we should plan? She is not good in math's so already eliminated Carrers related to math's. She is good in Biology but doesn't want to prepare for NEET.

Ans: Hi Ashish,
Greetings.
Microbiology is a common subject in most health sciences courses. Instead of pursuing a Bachelor's in Microbiology, it might be better for her to focus on other health-related courses that will be beneficial for her future. There are still two more years remaining, and her interests may change during this time. It's best to wait for any changes in her interests before making any decisions.
