Questions to ask a mentor
To save the time of both of you, consider asking your mentor these questions:
- Thinking back to when you were just getting started, what parts of your skill were the most frustrating to learn?
- Which of those do you use on a daily/weekly basis, and which have you forgotten?
Leave Your Comfort Zone
Try new things and widen your horizons.
