After getting acquainted, mentees and mentors should agree on some ground rules for the relationship. The following are important considerations:
- How often will we try to communicate? (Should be at least once per month and preferably more at the beginning.) Will it be by phone, e-mail, or face-to-face?
- What days/times work best?
- What are the roles of the mentor and the mentee?
- What expectations do we have about the way the two of you will communicate (e.g. formally, informally)?
- What each person is hoping to gain from the relationship?
