60-Minute Mentors™

ABOUT

helping hand

Need some career advice? You’re in the right place! Ed2010’s 60-Minute Mentors program has helped hundreds of recent graduates over the years. Mentors are matched up with Mentees for an hour question-and-answer session (or, if you’re outside NYC, via phone or email). And the best thing? It’s free. (Ed’s nice like that.)

Note: The mentor program is only open to those who have graduated within the last 24 months from either undergraduate or graduate programs. Due to the enormous amount of mentor requests Ed receives, he reserves the right to reject any incomplete or inadequate applications.

The mentor program is up and running! Send your completed application within the body of an e-mail (no resumes necessary) to mentors@ed2010.com

P.S. Ed is always down for helping hands who want to become mentors. Feel free to shoot him an e-mail if you’d like to mentor a young whippersnapper.

Thanks! Ed will contact you within the next two-three weeks to let you know if he can find a Mentor for you. He will then send you the contact information for your Mentor, who will await your email or phone call to set up a meeting. It is your responsibility to set up the meeting. If you don’t do so within 2 weeks your Mentor will be assigned to someone else on the waiting list.

Thank you. xoxo, Ed
