How to Find a Mentor When You Are Just Starting Out

Episode 26 of The Career Mentor Podcast tackles the toughest phase of mentorship: the beginning. Lucas and Luna explore why traditional 'ask someone to be your mentor' advice fails for early-career professionals and offers a better approach: the three-touch strategy. They break down how to build a mentoring relationship through low-stakes interactions, using examples like a junior analyst who landed a mentor by asking for a five-minute phone call about a specific industry trend. The hosts also discuss how to identify informal mentors—people who can advise without a formal title—and how to leverage LinkedIn for micro-mentorship moments. If you're feeling stuck because you don't have a mentor yet, this episode gives you a practical, no-pressure framework to start building those relationships today. #CareerMentorPodcast #MentorshipForBeginners #EarlyCareerAdvice #FindingAMentor #ThreeTouchStrategy #InformalMentorship #MicroMentorship #LinkedInMentoring #JuniorProfessionals #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #CareerGrowth #MentoringTips #NoPressureApproach #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
