-: When I started my career at Target Corporation,
I had a mentor, I actually had a couple,
and they were for different reasons.
One was a recruiter, and she was in Talent Acquisition,
and she kind of just helped me prepare
for what I needed to do to be successful in getting a job
within that realm, and we talked about day-to-day life
of a recruiter, kind of what I'm sharing with you right now,
I learned a lot of that from her,
and I also had a mentor who was not in my area at all,
she was in Finance, and she was someone
to just kind of bounce ideas off of,
a completely outside point of view,
someone who wasn't in my area,
but that I could kind of come to with questions or problems
and she could give me a good outside perspective answer
of someone who wasn't in my industry.
So it's good to have different types of connections.
You don't need to only connect with people
who are interested in the same things that you are,
sometimes its really interesting
to get a completely different perspective,
because you see things in different ways.
