What does The Buddy System look like in a pandemic?
Welp, it doesn’t exactly look like the picture at left (no hugging!). But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a successful Buddy-ship! Other than our initial Zoom happy hour, here are a few ways that mentors and mentees can connect virtually:
• Have a get-to-know you Zoom (or old fashioned audio) call.
• Follow each other on social media and share/comment/engage in each other’s content in a positive way.
• Join up with fellow mentor-mentee pairs for small-group, subject-specific Zoom happy hours (i.e., women’s mags meetup, fashion meet-up, beauty meet-up). See the contact list for subject area categories.
• Mentors, you can provide notes on resumes and cover letters via Google docs for your Mentee(s).
• Use your Mentor to help explain media jargon, evaluate job descriptions (“Am I qualified?”), and connect you to other people in the industry who may be hiring or helpful in your job search.
• Mentors can offer a virtual “office tour” by sharing their screen and showing what their working on right now to get a behind-the-scenes peek into their job.
• You can both share job posts, news articles, and other relevant info to support each other’s career and ambitions.
• and more! Get creative!
