Mentoring is like any other new relationship. It may take time to build trust, so don't think initial resistance is a sign of rejection. If, for some reason, a specific mentoring relationship does not work out, don't give up. Try again with a different individual and eventually you will find a good fit.
To get started on the mentoring programme, you will need to create a profile. It's recommended that you prepare sections 8 and 13 of your profile in in advance, as you will need to decide how best to complete these sections, within the maximum word count. A proforma is provided for you to download to help with this.
