I found most useful the confrontation with the mentee, as well as giving him advice and revisiting in him situations that I myself have gone through.

Participating in the programme was a truly valuable experience. Having a mentor who graduated from the same program just a few years ago allowed me to receive advice that was both relevant and directly applicable to my current stage. He had recently faced the same challenges I am about to face, which gave him a unique perspective and allowed him to offer guidance that felt authentic and realistic. Our discussions covered career paths, job search strategies, CV optimization, networking, and more. I left each session feeling more confident and better prepared for what lies ahead.
