It's really useful the way it puts language students like us in touch with someone who already works in the profession we'd like to join after we graduate. 00:01:26,900 Yes. It's been one of the most useful things we've done this year, I think. 00:01:31,160 How did you first learn about the program? 00:01:33,740 Well, I read about what was involved online after someone on my course recommended it and decided to go for it. How about you, Jack? 00:01:42,080 Yeah, a friend in my tutorial group mentioned it, and the tutor agreed it could be helpful for all of us. 00:01:48,840 I don't remember seeing you at the first meeting at the beginning of this year's program. You know, when we were told who our mentors would be and how to make the most of the contact with them. 00:01:58,380 I was at that meeting, though I arrived a bit late. It was a nuisance for me that it was held so far from the center of the campus. 00:02:06,240 I know. I ended up missing half of my Spanish translation class later that afternoon, but at least I found it all relevant. 00:02:14,220 Hmm. Most people seem to say they benefited from it. 00:02:17,900 True. I wonder why the mentors took on this role and whether they felt they got something out of working with us over the course of the year. It can't have been easy for them to combine mentoring with their busy work lives. 00:02:30,480 Hmm. I hope they found it a worthwhile experience. I heard that the majority of them agreed to become mentors because they wanted to give something back to the university, having studied here themselves. 00:02:42,960 That's interesting. I just assumed they wanted to get young graduates into the careers they'd chosen to opt for. 00:02:49,720 So how did you mainly make contact with your mentor? 00:02:53,280 By talking online, actually. It worked pretty well. It was good to be able to see my mentor, even though he lives at the other end of the country. What about you? 00:03:02,340 We intended to do that, but it didn't work very well, so we just emailed each other every week or so. I preferred that because it gave me time to consider her questions more carefully instead of having to answer immediately. 00:03:16,600 My first contact with my mentor was interesting but quite difficult. 00:03:21,620 Was it because you weren't sure what you wanted to get out of the program? That's what I found hard at first. 00:03:28,340 That was okay for me, and my mentor understood my situation because he'd done the same course as me. It was just that I misunderstood one of his questions and gave some idiotic answer. Things got much better as I got used to the process. 00:03:43,400 So, on the whole, did your mentor make you change your plans at all? 00:03:47,180 Not really. Did yours? 00:03:49,260 Well, she supported my choice of dissertation topic, but she made me reconsider my intention to get a job in France next year. I've also decided to do some different modules next term, but that wasn't really because of anything she said. 00:04:07,820 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty on page six. 00:04:35,600 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:42,800 So what did you actually discuss with your mentor? Mine helped me a lot with presenting my CV. We also worked on doing well in interviews. 00:04:52,460 We did too. I mean, about the interviews rather than the CV. I'd made a five-year plan already, but my mentor had some very helpful advice about what to go for in terms of what master's degree to consider doing after I graduate. 00:05:06,280 I don't think I'll do a post-grad course. One of the most useful things we did was an exercise to identify what I'm good at and where I have gaps in terms of what I want to achieve long term. 00:05:18,340 My mentor started off by making me think about that too. I found it quite revealing. So would you suggest they do things differently with the mentoring program next year? Someone suggested starting with a face-to-face meeting between all the mentors and students, but I don't think that's necessary. The meeting we had just for students only was good for letting us know what to expect, I thought. 00:05:40,380 Absolutely. I think I'd have liked the program to kick off at the beginning of the academic year rather than in the middle, though. 00:05:48,100 Fair enough. I think they did a good job of matching mentors to students, but perhaps they needed a bit more training for the mentors. Mine was good, but not everyone's was. 00:05:58,820 Definitely. But it didn't seem to matter that some had two or three students while others only had one. Okay. Well, what should we do next? 00:06:11,560 That is the end of section three.
