Of all the resources professionals have at their disposal, a mentor is arguably one of the most helpful. Articles, books and trial and error can be great teachers when you're navigating your career, but nothing can replace advice from someone who has been there before you.
"The guidance of a mentor can be very important," said Rachel Martinez, founder of the Are You Kidding sock company. "Many times, it is helpful to learn from others' mistakes, or from the right choices [they have] made."
Lourdes Martin-Rosa, American Express OPEN adviser on government contracting, agreed, noting that the real-life experiences mentors can share will help mentees create a better path toward success.
