Working with a mentor will show your employer that you are serious about your career. Look for a mentor who is a successful leader in your career field. This person can be a supervisor, a co-worker or someone who works in another company. A mentor usually knows what managers look for when considering promotions and how to overcome workplace challenges. He or she can provide advice, answer questions, and relay tips that can help you reach your goals more quickly.
