5. What can a PMP Mentor do for me?
A mentor can provide skills, self-awareness, and
experience in a relatively Low Risk environment.
• Academic and career advice
• Define personal goals
• Develop professional skills
• Access to unique resources and experiences
• Networking experience and connections
• Preparation for ANY job
• Competitive advantage in the job search
“Make sure to reach out to your mentor frequently. Even if they don't have the
immediate connection to your dream company, they might in turn know people
that can help you get connected in the field/industry you are looking for.”
Christopher Lynch, PMP Graduate, ‘13

as much as you can.”

your mentor and keeping in contact is very important. Things may start out slow
but the more you put into it the more you get out of it.”
Maggie Corcoran, PMP Student, ‘14

relationship.”
Diem Chi Nguyen, PMP Graduate, ‘13
