1. CREATE YOUR PROFILE
Having a complete and accurate profile is crucial to the success of selection and matching. Please ensure that your contact information is up to date, you’ve added a recent professional profile picture and have expanded your bio. To update your profile, go to your Member Compass on the Pink Boots website. Ultimately, having a complete and accurate profile is the best way to share your professional experience.
2. SELECT YOUR ROLE
Are you looking to be a mentor or mentee? Perhaps both?
Select your desired role(s) from the link(s) below:
• Enroll as a Mentor
• Enroll as a Mentee
Once your role(s) have been selected, please set your preferences.
Demographics include: occupation, production size, specialties, career stage, and start/end date. Please note that some fields are required for enrollment. The more information you provide, the easier it will be to make the best match. Keep in mind that in order to request a mentor or mentee, you must be enrolled as either a mentor, a mentee, or both.
3. FIND YOUR MATCH
Both Mentors and Mentees can use the Mentor Program Directory to input your search criteria.
Do one search or multiple searches. If you're unsure of the search criteria, select "Search for ALL of the selected values." The Mentor Program Directory will do the work for you and populate the results.
4. CONNECT
Next click on the member's name that you're interested in establishing a mentor/mentee connection with. The link will bring you to their profile page. Look around. If you think it's a desired match, look under their profile image for the Mentor Match badge, which when clicked will allow you to request a connection. If it's not a desired match, you can simply select the back button to return to your previous search results. If the request is approved, you'll receive a message in your community inbox.
Congratulations, let the mentoring begin!
