“I’ve been a mentor in the UNSW Business School Career Mentoring Program for several years. I find it very rewarding and worthwhile helping students to succeed in their university studies and reach their goals, and it’s not a big impost on my time. The program is very well organised and provides opportunities to meet and network with other mentors and mentees. My advice to others in the program is to have fun, learn from each other and enjoy the experience.” Mala Dixit, Mentor MCom 1991 UNSW “I firmly believe mentoring is a relationship with mutual benefits for both the mentor and mentee. I’ve been participating in the UNSW Business School Career Mentoring program for a few years and I find it very satisfying and rewarding to guide and mentor a student. My way of thinking was challenged a lot by my mentee, which resulted in me learning more about my working and management style.” Dineish Nallainathan, Mentor MBT 2014 UNSW “The most rewarding aspect of the UNSW Business School Career Mentoring Program for me, is the knowledge that my relationship with my mentor has only just begun and that as I progress onwards with my career, I can always reach out and be supported.” Matthew, 2018 Mentee Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) / Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) UNSW “The UNSW Business School Career Mentoring Program not only allowed me to learn and understand the Australian job market but also provided me with practical knowledge and insights from industry professionals. My mentor helped me understand the importance of having a strong personal brand and how this can create new opportunities.” Ichka, 2018 Mentee Masters of International Business UNSW
