It was valuable to have someone with applied experience who recently sought out similar jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogers, like the other HumRRO mentors, is an early-career I-O professional, which helps her relate to graduate student mentees. \u201cWe remember what it\u2019s like to make that transition from academia to the workplace,\u201d said Rogers. \u201cI viewed my role as being there to help bridge that gap between the two worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:45px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-shadow\" style=\"background:radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-webkit-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-moz-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-o-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;color:#009cd7;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.5;\">Building Confidence<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>One of the most helpful exercises, according to Stiksma, was the mock interview Rogers conducted prior to her internship interview. \u201cIt was a game-changing experience both in terms of increasing my confidence on certain questions and pointing out where I could improve my narrative on others,\u201d said Stiksma.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Marshall, a research scientist at HumRRO, said her mentee, Sarah Sultzer, was most interested in advice on the job search process. \u201cWe spoke about the interview process and ways to help reduce anxiety during that stressful experience, as well as tips on negotiating salary, which can be a hard thing for women, especially, to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sultzer is graduating this month with a masters in I-O from George Mason. \u201cAlyssa gave me great advice on how to know my worth when it comes to accepting job offers,\u201d said Sultzer. \u201cWe also talked about how to structure my resume, how to network effectively, and ways to showcase my relevant school and work experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howald was on the fence about participating in the mentoring program because he didn\u2019t think he had much to contribute as a recent graduate. Lee encouraged him to sign up, emphasizing the relatability factor. He\u2019s now glad he did because of what he learned from his mentee, Kira Foley, who is a Ph.D. candidate at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned so much from Kira,\u201d said Howald. \u201cMentoring is a great opportunity to exchange ideas and get other perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foley, who is also a Consortium Research Fellow at the U.S. Army Research Institute, has had mentors and networking opportunities at school and work. She signed up for the PTCMW program because she wanted a structured mentor-mentee relationship with someone who was not her boss or her graduate school advisor. \u201cNick doesn\u2019t have control over my paycheck or my ability to graduate,\u201d Foley noted. \u201cI can be real with him, almost like the more senior graduate students in my program, except he has a couple of years\u2019 post-grad experience under his belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to discussing ways to communicate her skills and experiences, Foley said, \u201cNick and I talked about everything from job search and application strategies to professional ethics in the organizational sciences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHearing a fresh perspective from someone like Arielle who is knowledgeable in the field just cannot be overvalued,\u201d Stiksma added.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:45px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-shadow\" style=\"background:radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-webkit-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-moz-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background:-o-radial-gradient(ellipse at 50% -50% , #e0dede 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 80%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;color:#009cd7;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.5;\">Passing It On<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>HumRRO mentors and their mentees said they plan to keep in touch and all enthusiastically recommend the experience to others.
