The Book Marketing Society mentorship scheme returns!

After a pandemic hiatus, the BMS is delighted to announce the return of its mentorship scheme, matching junior-to-mid level marketers with more experienced mentors, of manager level and above. 

The scheme will run for six months and each pairing commits to six, one-hour sessions which can be in person, via Zoom / Teams, or hybrid. 

The aim is for mentees to be matched with someone with significant experience who can offer impartial advice on career & skills development, campaign challenges, ways of working with colleagues and managers, and broad industry knowledge. 

The scheme is not intended to ‘manage’ the mentee or share insider knowledge, but rather to be an impartial, friendly steer and constructive critic – a sounding board for any questions that the mentee might have. 

We are aiming to match 20 pairs – if more applications are received, we will roll these on to the next scheme’s intake.

 

The deadline to apply has now closed.

Matches will be introduced by 7th December

 

A detailed document will be provided to help outline the parameters of what mentoring is, and to give the mentor and mentee some questions to spark initial conversations.
