How do I ask someone to be my mentor?
Skip the vague 'will you be my mentor' message. Ask for one specific 30-minute conversation about one specific problem, and make it easy to say yes. If the first session goes well, a longer mentorship often forms on its own. Platforms like Hop remove the awkwardness entirely: mentors have already said yes to being asked, and you just book time.
