Top 5 Reasons to Become a Mentor

Krisztina Hyross, Senior Recruiter EMEA at VF Corporation shares her top five reasons to become a mentor.

1. To give back, provide support and be able to advise

2. To provide a safe space to discuss problems, to encourage, to help build a professional network for the mentee

3. So I can also learn from my mentee and their experiences as well which also provides an opportunity to reflect on my situation and have a look at the outside world through someone else’s ‘window.’

4. There is no better reward than your mentee informing you that they reached a new milestone in their career – whether it be finding a new job and a new employer where they feel better and more appreciated or getting a promotion, and you could help them get there

5. It’s a form of allyship.
