Receive constructive feedback

The most important and perhaps also the most difficult question of all to ask your mentor is constructive feedback on your work. This can take up a lot of their time and effort, so be sure you’re specific in asking exactly what you want to know.

You can ask for feedback from your mentor with questions like:

• What aspects of my work are effective?
• Which areas of my approach can be improved?
• In what ways do you think I can enhance my resume and professional portfolio?
• What can I do to improve my communication and leadership skills?

Asking these questions is a great way to look at your skills and your work from a renewed perspective to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
