Alumni Testimonials

"The platform is super easy to use. I've met with three mentees so far and I've been impressed by their questions and genuine interest in my career experiences. I really like this format of mentoring vs. the traditional mentoring program as it's more fluid and as a mentor you have the ability to meet more students throughout the year to have a bigger impact. I've already recommended that my friends and colleagues sign up!"
Melanie Alforque,  Melbourne, Australia.

"Met the mentee as planned and discussed topics that she suggested. I hope she got something out of the experience. Reflecting on my personal experience against what transpired, I think there is value in someone like an objective mentor without ties to the mentee for such a discussion. I wish I had the same experience as a younger undergraduate to get a better understanding of potential career opportunities--at least I hope that is what my mentee left thinking too!"
Glen Fisher,   Melbourne, Australia.

"This program is great. I am happy to be a part of it."
Weili Chen,  Melbourne, Australia.

Student Testimonials

"Accomplished professionals in the Ask Alumni network can provide exactly what I need as a graduate student facing graduation soon. This experience has been very informing and helpful in me planning what direction I am headed next after graduating from the University of Melbourne."
Jingheng,  Master of Engineering.

"Through his experience George was able to offer invaluable advice that helped me feel more confident about the job search process - it was nice to hear things from a different perspective. Although George was the first alum I contacted he definitely will not be the last - this process has made me feel more at ease about entering the workforce and the prospect of future employers offering mentoring."  
Anna,  Doctor of Dental Surgery.

"I was inspired by my alumi's profile and what she has achieved since graduating from the JD. She was very reassuring and gave me practical tips regarding work-life balance and volunteering ideas. We also spent time discussing the anxiety that comes with law school. She reminded me that it’s about running your own race and provided me with solid advice about how to manage that sort of stress."  
Alaryss,  Juris Doctor.

"The experience was the highlight of my day. I never expected to find an alum with similar interests. I would definitely recommend the Ask Alumni program to other students. There is much to learn from the alum and their rich experiences."  
Edward,  Bachelor of Commerce.
