a. How did the mentoring programme support your career development? The mentoring programme has inspired me to think carefully about what I want out of a career, what my non-negotiables are and to take steps towards these. I have also been encouraged to believe in my abilities, received interview advice and practice and learnt from the experiences and stories of people in industry. b. Did the mentoring programme help you build a sense of community and expand your social network? It certainly did. I feel better connected to others in our school, especially those in the years above me or already working. Their wisdom and advice have been so helpful. It's like having a family of older and younger ‘academic or professional’ siblings. My mentor offered me advice regarding a job application and also put me in contact with others to help me. c. What have you enjoyed most about the programme? I have enjoyed making new connections the most. Be that through the mentoring programme, the networking sessions, the gaming socials or working with the S.F.B.S team to set up these events. It's lovely getting to meet other students and professionals and hearing about their experiences. It has been a blessing and a privilege to learn from others. They are so kind, supportive and willing to help those around them and pass on their expertise.
