No matter where you fall on this spectrum, it’s completely normal—and you don’t have to navigate those feelings alone. A UStrive mentor is here to help you turn your aspirations into achievements.

Here’s how mentors can guide you along the way:

1. Achieving Specific Goals

Feeling stuck on college applications? Unsure where to begin your job search? Your mentor is ready to step in. They can:

• Review and edit your essays or cover letters.

• Help you organize deadlines so nothing slips through the cracks.

• Set up mock interview sessions to prepare you for potential employers or admissions teams.

Whether it’s offering advice or providing practical help, your mentor is there for every step of the process.

2. Exploring Your Options

Not sure what your next step should be? That’s okay too. Mentors can:

• Share their career paths and the steps they took to get there.

• Introduce you to new opportunities you may not have considered.

• Help you brainstorm and explore potential paths.

Even if your future feels unclear, your mentor can help you map out possibilities that align with your interests and goals.

From refining your resume to strengthening interpersonal skills, your mentor can help you prepare for the challenges ahead. Together, you can:

• Sharpen your writing or communication skills.

• Gain confidence in areas that matter most to your future.

These practical skills will serve you well in any career or academic pursuit.

4. Creating Meaningful Connections

Building a network is one of the most valuable steps you can take for your future. Your mentor can:

• Introduce you to people and opportunities within their network.

• Serve as a trusted connection in your professional circle.

These relationships can open doors to internships, jobs, and other opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
