If you’ve been preselected as a mentee for the March-June TesoXchange round, this article has all the details about what’s next and the program timeline. Make sure to check it out before moving forward!
The next steps:
- February 14–21
- Login into the TesoXchange mentorship platform (use NordLayer or Global Protect to access it).
- Go to Mentors' gallery and send requests to 1-3 mentors you prefer.
- If you want to contact mentors, you can use Slack.
- February 24
Your request will be accepted or rejected on 24th of Feb. You can follow the status of your requests here. Please note that if one of the mentors accepts you as their mentee, the other mentors you requested won't see your requests anymore and won't be able to accept them. So, make sure that all mentors you send requests to are really the ones you want to work with.
- February 25–27
If needed, participate in the round 2 of the matching. In every program after the first round of matching, we still have several mentors and mentees without a pair. So, we give a couple of days for round 2. If that is the case for you, please review the database of mentors again and send requests to the mentors who are the right fit for you.
If your request is rejected by the mentor:
Mentors evaluate carefully if they can offer the skills and expertise you seek. So, it might happen that none of the mentors will accept your request this time. If that’s the case, we encourage you to make the most of your time by reading books or joining internal training programs. We’ll be excited to receive your application in the next round!
Use of the Platform
We are using this platform for storing mentors’ and mentees’ profiles and for the matching process. After you are accepted by your mentor, you can continue communicating on Slack and schedule the meetings in Google Calendar or other ways you agree upon.
