<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Kelsey, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For our peer mentors-outreach/coaching positions we have traditionally found the more successful candidates are upper-class undergraduate students (maturity and time management skills). Our peer mentors-operations
have been more freshman and sophomores.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Over the years we have found our “open” recruitment from all colleges and programs cultivates the most diverse candidate pool. Every mentor enriches their placement with their life experiences, degree work, and
skills. The only criteria we look for in any of our mentors is a passion to serve students. We will train them for the personal financial topics and coaching services they will be providing to students, but a desire to serve other students is integral to a
successful placement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I have attached copies of our mentor job descriptions (operations – 80% customer service/administrative|20% outreach/coaching) and outreach – 80% outreach/coaching|20% customer service/administrative). I also included
the copies of the critical thinking assignment we ask students who are selected for interviews to complete and bring to their interview. The assignment provides a unique perspective into the student’s thought processes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">At the request of several of our long-serving mentors, we are in the process of developing a special “senior mentor” designation for those mentors who enter their senior year while in our employment. The special
designation that they can add to their resumes will consist of a special research project they will identify with the approval of their supervisor. The project will need to be completed within their senior year. Upon completion of their project, the mentor
will receive a special certificate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As you develop the job descriptions for your mentor positions, I would advise you to review the NACE Employer Survey findings
</span><span style="color:#1F497D">(<a href="https://www.naceweb.org/knowledge/career-readiness-employer-survey-results.aspx?terms=employer%20OR%20survey">https://www.naceweb.org/knowledge/career-readiness-employer-survey-results.aspx?terms=employer%20OR%20survey</a>).
</span><span style="color:black">The survey identifies the </span><span class="nace"><span style="color:black">seven competencies employers identify as essential to new college hire success when considering new college graduate candidates for their workplaces.
By incorporating these competencies into your mentor positions will have a dual benefit – enrichment of core skills for mentors and development of skills employers look for when hiring.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
