Defining Career
www.BusinessDictionary.com
The progress and actions taken by a person throughout a lifetime, especially those related to that person's occupations. A career is often composed of the jobs held, titles earned and work accomplished over a long period of time, rather than just referring to one position.
The etymology of the term comes from the m. French word carriere (16 c.) ("road, racecourse") which, in turn, comes from the Latin word "(via) cararia" (track for wheeled vehicles) which originated from the Latin word “carrus" which means "wagon."

Mentee Tips…
• Before you ask someone to mentor you, invite him or her to lunch, get to know them, and make sure it’s a good fit.
• Be careful to choose someone who has accomplished in his or her life the same thing you want to accomplish in your endeavors. Ask someone who has a proven track record and resonates with your values.
• Before you approach someone for mentoring, get to know as much as you can about them. Google them—there’s a great deal of information on the website.
• Be humble, transparent, and willing to ask the questions that expose your weakness.

ADVOCATES
• Before you meet, be prepared with specific questions to ask. Realize that when someone is sharing his or her information, insights, and time with you that you should respect that and come with a plan.
• If your mentor is not nearby, make the effort to travel and speak face to face with him or her from time to time.
• Be willing to speak and meet with others on your mentor’s staff. If the mentor is not available but suggests you meet with a staff person, respect his or her judgment and learn from the available sources.
• Be kind to your mentor’s assistants, never demanding to meet with him or her or calling several times a day.
