if they're interested in learning about different career/major pathways, share w them my own major and introduce them to other mentors in other majors

When learning that, we can work together to find a career that may suit their answers.

i also like to ask them about themselves (their hobbies, what career pathways they're interested in and why, etc)]]> 2022-01-25 02:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/info19279/zam3alfpqwz14e3f/wish/2010130468 in these cases, i would ask them about their general interests, and then do my best to gather information about all of them for them to take. https://padlet.com/info19279/zam3alfpqwz14e3f/wish/2010131346 2022-01-25 02:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/info19279/zam3alfpqwz14e3f/wish/2010131346 open ended questions! not just about school but also about their lives :)) https://padlet.com/info19279/zam3alfpqwz14e3f/wish/2010131388 2022-01-25 02:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/info19279/zam3alfpqwz14e3f/wish/2010131388
