The 4 Types of Mentors You Need In Your Career | Breakroom Buddha

Sponsors are the perfect blend of a mentor and a coach.

They have the influence and power to help you get to where you’re trying to go, and they actively work to open doors for you as well.

They often serve as an advocate and speak your name in rooms that you’re not yet invited to. This person can also be your own personal cheerleader. Work hard to find a sponsor who is well connected and excellent at networking as well!

Sometimes you just need someone near who’s going through the exact same thing you’re going through. The best type of accountability buddies are those who are your peers!

You can choose buddies who:

• are currently going through the job search, 
• work in the industry that you’re interested in
• attended your university or high school

Or you can go in a completely different direction. The possibilities are endless when it comes to finding friends or accountability buddies.
