Session: Early Career Mentorship: My Journey from Mentee to Mentor
As a female in tech, I learnt about mentorship opportunities the hard way -- purely through personal experience. I hoped someone had told me about what to expect and how to approach others sooner to excel and utilize my strong skillsets in most effective manner.Through this talk, I will discuss my personal recollections of the myths and realities of mentoring, its importance in early career and fruitful mentoring experiences in my career journey so far.
Additionally, I want to inspire the young female computer enthusiasts to get involved in mentorship, both as a mentee and a mentor, grow their network and set themselves up for success through strong mentoring relationships.
Key Takeaways
- Help will be given to those who ASK
- Grow your network to build your tomorrow
- Have multiple mentors from different areas to provide different types of support
- Start mentoring and give back to society
