Cross-check career goals

If you have a plan in place about the next steps you’re going to be taking in your career, it may be a good idea to cross-check with your mentor. This step is crucial as they may be able to point out better alternatives or help you identify any roadblocks that may come along the way.

Here are some examples of questions you can employ to cross-check your career goals with your mentor:

• I am planning to study information architecture this year. Would this course be relevant in the years to come?
• Should I learn Figma or Adobe Illustrator first if I’m interested in graphic design?
• This is my career plan. Will this help me land a role as a senior UX Writer in the next 4 years?
