Mentoring is supposed to be an intensive, individualized and
private experience. If you aren’t getting one-on-one attention, you’ve got a
teacher -- not a mentor.
Unfortunately, this presents a challenge for both parties.
For mentors, it means turning down capable protégés if you’ve already committed
to another. And for students, it could mean going to the trouble of identifying the perfect mentor only to be turned down
for scheduling reasons -- which may or may not be explained to you.
Don’t push it. The goal of a mentoring relationship is progress,
and that’s only possible if the guidance is individualized. There is a
mentor or protégé out there for you, but you’ve got to wait for the timing to
be right.
