How to Find a Mentor Through Your Alumni Network

In this episode of The Career Mentor Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how to leverage your college or university alumni network to find a mentor who can accelerate your career. They discuss a specific case: a mid-career marketing manager at Procter & Gamble who reconnected with a classmate from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, leading to a mentor relationship that helped her land a director role. Lucas breaks down the three-step approach: identifying the right alumni, crafting a tailored outreach message, and building a relationship beyond the initial ask. Luna shares a counter-example of a failed attempt due to a generic LinkedIn message. They also touch on the power of alumni directories, affinity groups, and alumni events. Listeners will learn one concrete tactic they can use today to find a mentor through their alma mater. #AlumniNetwork #MentorSearch #CareerMentor #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #UniversityOfMichigan #RossSchoolOfBusiness #ProcterAndGamble #CareerAdvice #Mentorship #AlumniRelations #JobSearch #LinkedInStrategy #CareerGrowth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerPodcast #MentorshipTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
