    About this Episode

    Okay, so let’s say you got the job (or internship). It doesn’t stop there: Once you’re in, it’s important to identify and establish a rep with those who can help you develop into the professional you aspire to become. So what are we talking about? Mentors and mentorship. In this episode of Career Compass, hosts Kevin Abbed and Misha Adams speak with the George Washington University’s interim HR director Alexander Pullen, who’s all about mentorship and just who you want to hear speak on the subject. You’ll hear his advice on how to find a mentor and why you probably need more than one.
