Career inspiration questions

If you’re in the creative field, you probably already know that inspiration is everywhere. Learning where your mentor finds theirs — be it from podcasts, shows, books, movies, or routines they follow every day — can give you more resources to tap.

Here are some questions to ask your mentor about their career inspiration:

• How do you stay on top of the latest industry trends?
• What resources do you use to upskill?
• Can you recommend some podcasts or books that can help me gain better clarity on this issue?
• What is your source of truth for looking up industry-related terminology, shortcuts, hacks, or how-tos?
• What are some things you do to get into a creative headspace?
