Introductory Call with

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

I have or 30 years in IT, and over 20 in IT Security. During that time I have either performed phone screens on prospective candidates, or been the hiring manager, as I am in my current capacity. I have reviewed hundreds of resumes and developed a keen eye as to what can make or break a a candidate's chances of scoring that first interview.
