Early in one's career, a formal mentor is not necessary as support can be found from observing mid-to-late career colleagues. Peer mentoring through collaboration with other managers, especially other women managers, can also be effective.

MY CAREER PATH
4. Book Title
Author Name• Embrace the entire publishing industry, not just
the job you think you’re destined to have.
• Accept tasks that may fall outside your job remit.
• Publishing is in a continual state of flux. Learn to
accept this and maybe even welcome it.
• Anything you learn from one job, you can use in
the next job.
FLEXIBILITY
5. EYES WIDE OPEN
• DO: Attend industry conferences.
• DON’T: Confuse them with job fairs.
• DO: Seek mentors.
• DON’T: Expect them to hire you.
• DO: Interview for promising jobs at other firms.
• DON’T: Interview for jobs only to leverage your position at
your current firm.
• DO: Have a Plan B.
• DON’T: Discount other publishing roles or sectors, or maybe
even other industries outside of publishing.
6. TIMING IS EVERYTHING
• Point-of-entry to publishing can range from teen years to middle-age and beyond.
• Saying no to a job offer doesn’t mean doors to other jobs – or even that very job at
a later date – are closed.
• It’s not about how many years you spend at a job, it’s about what you learn at it.
• Publishing professionals can have as many lives as cats do if they’re flexible.
