Good to know
Questions, answered
Who are the mentors?
Experienced professionals from industry and public service who volunteer or are engaged to guide job seekers in their field.
How is mentoring different from career counselling?
Career counselling helps you choose a direction. Mentoring is advice from someone already working in your chosen field about succeeding and growing in it.
Is there a fee?
Many sessions are free. Where a location charges a consultation fee, it is shown on the counsellor profile before you book and is paid in cash at the session.
Can I cancel or change a booking?
Yes. Open My appointments in your account to cancel a scheduled session. The slot is released for others and you can book a new one.
What should I bring?
Bring a photo ID, your latest marksheets or certificates and your resume if you have one. Please arrive a few minutes before your slot.
