Mentor FAQs

Yes, Wevise is currently focusing on the tech industry, encompassing all technical positions such as hardware, software, UI/UX design, management, tech startups, and product roles, for those interested in becoming volunteer mentors.

 

Anything from 1 hour a month to as much time as you’d like! And if you need to take a break, you’ll be able to pause your account.

 

We suggest you have at least 2 years of full-time experience (or part-time experience that adds up to 2 years of full-time experience). Mentees will be students and/or looking for their first career path in tech.

 

Yes, you can delete your account at any time, or pause it indefinitely if you get busy or are temporarily unable to mentor for any reason.

 

Make sure that you carefully go through each category and select the tags that apply to you. Our algorithm will use those to find the best matches for you. If anything changes, you’ll be able to go back and change any information. Make sure to provide feedback, especially during this early stage of the platform, when things aren’t working well so that we can improve our matching.

 

You can have as many as you feel comfortable supporting. For long-term mentoring, we suggest no more than two so you don’t get burnt out, but if it’s a mix of short and long term or you have a lot of time on your hands, you’re welcome to mentor more!

 

You’ll get an email each week with your top five matches. In addition, you can check your dashboard at any time! Once you accept or decline a match on your dashboard, you’ll receive more matches if there’s a good fit.

 

No, they won’t know. Each mentee request is sent to up to 5 mentors who are a great fit. They won’t know who their request was sent to until/unless you send back a mentorship “offer” by accepting their request. This decreases the emotional burden on you as the mentor to say no to requests that aren’t the right fit for you. In addition, you won’t know who the mentee is until they accept your offer, as the requests are anonymized to control for unconscious bias and to allow the mentees to be more vulnerable in their requests without worry.
