ISACA Members with published Mentor profiles are invited to participate in a Flash Mentorship pilot program at the ISACA Virtual Career Fair. Mentors will connect 1:1 with job seekers to provide guidance, practice interview skills, and answer questions about potential career pathways in 20 minute video conversations.
Anticipated outcomes:
· Select a two hour shift via Sign Up Genius
· You will receive a link to the Flash Mentorship virtual booth and instructions for how to create your account.
· Job seekers will enter the Flash Mentorship booth and have the ability to connect for a 1:1 text-based chat with a Mentor. These connections are automatically assigned based on availability. The conversation can then be elevated to a video chat for up to 20 minutes.
· The Mentor will have discussion prompts to assist the job seeker in their professional development journey. Topics may include:
- Practice interview questions: Provide feedback on how the job seeker can respond or present their skillset.
- CV Review: If the mentor has the applicable experience, consider reviewing the job seeker’s CV and providing feedback.
