In the world of career progression, mentors can be either safe harbours or launching pads for our ambitions. This blog explores the crucial choice between a mentor who protects us from every challenge and one who prepares us for the storms and sunshine of our professional journey. We'll discuss why choosing the latter is essential to achieving our full potential. Join us on the journey to finding a mentor who encourages us to thrive, not just survive.

In this blog, I explore the profound impact of altruism through the lens of offering free CV revision services. I recount a recent collaboration with a long-time friend whose CV failed to capture his true essence. After a successful revamp, my friend walked away with a more authentic CV and committed to similarly helping others. I reflect on how the true reward of altruism lies not in immediate gratitude, but in the long-lasting chain of kindness and expertise it creates, urging readers to commit to helping others as a way to enrich both their own lives and the broader community.
