About this session

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.

Your mentor

Before signing up for Mentorcruise, I've been publicly involved already with the testing community and provided mentorship and guidance from software testing topics to career progression and career change.

This introductory call is a way for us to get to know each other and see if it's a right fit to be your mentor!

I saught mentorship to improve my manual testing and test automation skills so I could get my foot into testing as a Junior. We started of by getting a concrete idea of what it is we wanted to achieve then I got the opurtunity to do assignment and give my results back to her. We also did interviws both techincal and non technical. What I really liked about the experience was that each one took me out of my comfort zone and gaive me the chance to make improvements in my work. The mentorship made me more aware of the impact that my work as a tester has within teams and also how I can make simple adjustments to improve my work. Thanks Marie”

On the first session, we quickly found a common language, and that made our communication easy and efficient - scheduling following sessions, and the topics which we were going to discuss, as well as action points were agreed together. I mostly asked questions where I was seeking feedback, and what helped me the most was that she listened and provided insights from angles that I didn't notice before. Helped me move to the next step with all my projects and issues I had.”
