guide for role of mentor and mentee?

Answer 1

It can vary somewhat, depending on what field the mentor and protege are in. Herer are some general guidelines

"Advice for Mentors and Protégés

Mentors should:
Meet with the protégé and identify his or her specific needs; provide assurance that you can fulfill those expectations.
Define the expected time commitment between mentor and protégé; consider establishing a scheduled time for meetings. (Identify an end date for the relationship?)
Identify an appropriate location for meeting with the protégé.
Be patient and positive in the relationship. No question is "dumb."
Suggest, don't dictate.
Be available when needed and as appropriate.
Communicate...share successes and failures, coach, advise, discuss real-life stories. Consider the question of confidentiality.


Protégés should:
Be respectful of the mentor's commitment to you in terms of time and resources.
Make sure the mentor's skills and experience match your needs and expectations. Also, ensure that these needs and expectations are clearly identified to the organization administering the mentoring program.
Communicate openly with the mentor.
Respect the need for confidentiality when appropriate.
Be specific in your needs and desires.
Make reasonable requests of the mentor.
Be receptive to feedback and advice."

Here are some for student proteges:

Students can depend on mentors to keep them apprised of changes and advances in their field. Mentors can also show them how the MISM curriculum can benefit their career and recommend elective courses.

Mentors can help mentees develop resumes or select a project or campus club that may further their career.

Mentors can help students accomplish career goals, as well as personal goals. They give advice on resume-enhancing activities or recommend ways to balance career and family.

Students should talk to their mentors about what they hope to gain from the experience. They should also learn about mentors' MISM experiences and how they acquired their current position.

Relationships are not one-sided. Students are encouraged to enter the process with thoughts about how they can help mentors give them the best advice.

Mentees need to know themselves. Feedback helps mentees identify strengths and weaknesses, which helps the mentor and mentee address areas that need improvement.

Mentors encourage mentees to develop to their fullest potential and create their own vision for the future. A mentor is a guide, a listener, a coach and a friend.

One final note: Although mentors are professionals who can help students network in the corporate world, students should NOT expect mentors to find them jobs at their firms. It is inappropriate for students to ask for job placement assistance from mentors."

Answer 2

After the first meeting, the role of the mentor in regard to coaching, counseling, facilitating, and networking will begin to take shape. Both parties should come well-prepared to all meetings so that the relationship can develop smoothly.
