Mentor Interest Form

MENTOR INTEREST FORM

At the Big Picture High School-Fresno, students learn through internships (LTI), identifying their passions and connecting with mentors. Mentors guide the interns, helping them learn about the mentor's field and about the professional world. Mentors support the student by developing a project with the advisor that will both give back to the workplace and be a vehicle for the student’s academic and personal growth.

Some Projects An Intern Could Work On With Me Are:

Comments:

I understand that interested students will write a cover letter explaining to me why they are interested in meeting me and perhaps interning with me as well as indicate any relevant past experiences they have had.

I understand that typically 1-2 students will come for a job shadow day and at that time an informational interview will take place before making a decision on the selection of an intern.

I understand that if I don’t feel that the students who interviewed or shadowed me are the right matches for the internship, then I am not obligated to fill the position.

Times I am available during the week for 30 minute interviews include:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Examples:	8:00 AM - 1:00 PM	All Day	10:00 AM-4:00 PM	None
