Are You Ready to Mentor a More Senior Colleague?

Imagine this scenario: You’re 15 months into your first job out of college when a senior leader from human resources asks to meet with you about mentoring. During the meeting, he says, “I’m looking to improve our firm’s recruiting practices and I think you could teach me about what young professionals are expecting these days. I’d love it if you and I could meet over the next few months, and you could ‘mentor’ me on what to do. What do you say?”
