Mentoring
For students
Imagine that you have a possibility to cooperate with a specialist from a company or the faculty in area that you are interested in, for some
limited period of time. This specialist would agree to spent some regular time with you, during which he/she would help you with your growth.
Imagine that you could also actively shape and plan the form of this cooperation - you could propose the plan for your cooperation, you could
bring your own ideas or you could ask the specialist for his/her expert feedback to your own project, career or study plans.
Steps to find a mentor
Go through the list of possible mentors below - if you think you have found the right mentor for you, get familiar with his/her expertise
and requirements for a candidate.

Send your application to Jana Bartáková . The application consists of your CV and a short paragraph explaining your motivation to be
mentored by a mentor selected by you and your expectations (please see exact requirements given by each mentor). Address the mentor
directly in your statement - the application will be given straight to the mentor, no one else will see it. If you are requested to include links
to some external files, put them in your motivation statement or your CV.* Important content of your application: consent for personal
data processing (it can be a part of the e-mail or your CV) and your contact information.
3.
Wait for a feedback on your application - successful candidates will be invited to a personal interview (or phone or video interview).
From these candidates, the mentor will select only one student for mentoring.
