Finding a Mentor in Myanmar
Ma Hnin Ei works as a junior admin at a construction company in Yangon, earning 300,000 MMK per month. She wants to move into HR but knows nobody in that field. Her manager is kind but has been in the same role for twelve years and never talks about career growth. Her university friends are scattered across customer service jobs. She opened LinkedIn once but closed it after five minutes. She does not need more information. She needs one person who has already walked the road she wants to walk -- and she has no idea how to find that person. If this sounds like your situation, this module is for you.

You do not find a mentor by asking someone to be your mentor. You find a mentor by asking one good question, acting on the answer, and coming back with the result. The relationship builds itself from there.
Identify the type of mentor who can actually help your next career step rather than seeking the most senior person available
Approach a potential mentor in a culturally appropriate way that makes them want to respond
Maintain a mentorship relationship through consistent follow-up and demonstrated action
