The Experience

How Career Tea Mentorship Works

🎯

You Choose Your Availability

No fixed schedule. You tell us when you're available and we match accordingly. Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes over video call.

🤝

Private Matching

We personally match you with mentees based on your background, their goals, and fit. You're never publicly listed or searchable.

💬

1-on-1 Sessions

Sessions cover career direction, resume review, interview prep, major selection, and career pivots — whatever your mentee needs most.

🌱

Real Impact

Your mentees are students and early-career professionals who don't have access to the networks most people take for granted. Your experience changes that.
