When searching for a mentor, consider their relevant experience. Look for someone who has gone through a journey similar to the one you want to take, either within or outside your company. Check their LinkedIn profile to see their career path and how they started and progressed. A closer match to your goals will result in a better mentor-mentee relationship. Remember that relevance goes beyond your field, and a potential mentor who cannot relate to you due to age, gender, or other factors might not be the right fit for you.
