As a mentor you will act as sparring partner to a student or graduate who may benefit from your experience in matters such as career opportunities, searching and applying for jobs, networking, the transition from study to employment and much more.
In acting as a mentor you must be prepared to support the learning process of your mentee and be prepared to take the time to meet with your mentee. You also need to be prepared to listen, ask questions, give advice and share your own experience when appropriate.
