I have heard many people talk about the importance of finding a mentor as an effective means to acquiring valuable experience, skills, guidance and networking opportunities.
1)However, I'm unsure about how to approach potential mentors. How does one go about asking a well-established professional to mentor them in a way that is respectful, professional and also in such a way that is likely to result in the potential mentor agreeing to take an 'apprentice' under his/her wing?
2) Which attributes should one look out for when choosing a potential mentor to approach? i.e company size, age, credentials of the mentor perhaps?
3) How should a 'mentee' act/behave with a mentor, once the mentor has agreed to this?
