When should I get a mentor? When should I become a mentor? I am in the middle ground of having valuable skills, but I do not master everything in my professional career.
When do I become a dedicated mentee? When do I devote time to mentoring someone? When do I take experience to a team and rely on group learning and not give it a formal title? I have a nice set of skills I would love to share but I don't have a great outlet to share them. I am by no means a master of the universe and would like to expand what I do, when should I focus on that? Can I be a mentor to someone while being mentored by someone at the same time? Also how can I facilitate group learning on a team? How can I help people mentor each other?
With regards to personal branding. What aspect of personal branding do you look at most when reviewing a candidate or employee? What should shine and what should be avoided?
Starting my professional life in the 00's, there was never a need for personal branding unless you worked for yourself and had a particular skill. Now it seems to be almost as important as a resume. From me starting out professionally with employers saying "you may not want to get a Facebook account because it can be held against you when getting a job" to " you might not get a job if they can't find you on any social media" is a pretty big change. What makes or breaks a candidate with personal branding? What looks best? Should it incorporate a person's profession or is it better to see someone's passion projects and persona shine when personal branding?
