1-on-1 Mentoring

Career success requires more than education and willingness to work. Many successful people have benefited from having a mentor, a guide to the field, who can answer questions, point out opportunities, and smooth the way for a newcomer.
The 1-on-1 mentorship is hyper-personalized and hence it is completely “mentee-driven”. The 1-on-1 session template will help you to plan the agenda along with a template to maintain a weekly log of your progress and a workbook to keep track of your goals. This is the single source of truth for your mentor to understand where you are.

Guidelines

Please come to the mentoring sessions prepared. You must have done some work on Glabs and spent time learning before coming into the session to make the optimum use of the mentoring session.
Think through what you wish to discuss with the mentor relevant to your data science learning and career. The agenda themes identified below will help you in framing your thoughts.
Frame your doubts properly. Show the mentor that you have put in your effort and genuinely asking doubts.
Wrong doubt: What is Data Science?
Right doubt: I have read about data science and I am unable to understand how to check if data science is applicable. Could you point me to the right resource or explain in brief?
Don’t ask mentor for help with the glabs assignments during learning. If you are stuck, the GA slack workspace is the right place. Use these sessions to show your projects, resume, etc and get feedback from the mentor.
We are here to provide all the support, environment and community to help you succeed. Once you must put in your hard work and effort (and this is the most imp ingredient for success), you are bound to succeed.

Schedule : Thrice a month for 30 minutes.
Total Sessions : 24 sessions over the period of 8 months
