How to Get a Mentor Before You Even Have a Job

What this episode covers

Episode 19 of The First Job Podcast explores how to build mentoring relationships before you've even landed your first job. Lucas and Luna unpack the story of a marketing assistant who cold-emailed 50 senior executives—and got replies from 12. They discuss why informational interviews are not fake job interviews, how to craft an ask that busy professionals actually want to answer, and the three rules for turning a 20-minute chat into a long-term advocate. Specific advice includes how to research a target, write a subject line that gets opened, and follow up in a way that builds trust. If you're still in college or early in your job search, this episode shows you how to start building your career network now—so you have advocates before you need them. #Mentorship #InformationalInterview #ColdEmail #CareerNetworking #FirstJob #NewGrad #EntryLevel #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #NetworkingTips #Mentor #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerGrowth #LinkedIn #Careers #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheFirstJobPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
