Overcoming the Challenges of Mentoring
summary
Distinguishes youth/personal mentoring from adult/professional mentoring, arguing adult mentorship requires planned goals, commitment and measurable work rather than one-off help; mentoring is a relationship, not Stack Overflow or Slack, and a bad mentor is worse than none. Recommends evaluating time, talent and temperament, setting realistic goals, using project-based assessment to prove skills, responding reliably (e.g. 24-hour rule), insisting on reciprocity, and building curated pools and internship listings (Junior Dev mentoring.com and an added internship portal) to bridge the gap.
