Disability Mentoring Day is coming up on Wednesday, October 21, and a good conversation with a mentor can change how a career path looks.

Not sure what to ask? Here are five questions to bring to your next conversation: 1. How did you get your first job? Hearing someone's path can make your own feel more possible. 2. What do you wish you had known earlier? Mentors often have advice they would give their younger selves. 3. What does a typical day look like? It helps you picture whether the work could fit you. 4. Which skills matter most in your job? You learn what to practice, and what you may already do well. 5. Who else should I talk to? One conversation often leads to the next. Save this for when you need it, and send it to someone who is looking for a mentor. Want help with your next step? BDI's job and career services are here for you.
