Landing a dream job takes hard work, a little luck and a strong network. Founded in 2016, the Professional Mentoring Program matches working professionals — from recent PhD graduates to C-suite executives — with mentees who hope to break into their fields after graduation.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kristy Kotek and Jessica Mueller, who organize more than a hundred mentor and mentee pairs at Roosevelt University. We’ll talk about how the program has helped our students weather a difficult job market and make lasting career connections.

I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation.
