Acadium: Courses, Internships

I been trying to get a mentor about six months now and it’s almost impossible. I have some experience in marketing along time ago that why I wanted to use this app to update my skills. But all the companies are looking for free labor rather than actually trying to grow in your skill.

I matched with a mentor name Olivia Yan and we agreed on a time that would work best for us both to meet. I tried to adhere to her schedule especially and we were scheduled to meet in the next two days for an interview to so she could learn about me and my expense and what I do and so I could learn more about her and this opportunity and see if it would be a good fit. So later in the day the day before our interview she messages me saying “I had another interview with someone else this afternoon and I've decided to work with her. Thank you for your time.” I think that’s very unprofessional and In most job interviews I’ve had they move interviewed all the candidates that made it to the next stage and I didn’t even get a chance to tell her about all the skills I have and the relevant work experience and projects I’ve worked on. I think this is so unfortunate, unprofessional and very unfair. It’s so unacceptable and I hope no other mentors make the same mistake as Olivia. If you watch with her, I suggest not letting her be your mentor.
