Preplaced mentorship isn’t similar to doing a course. There is no fixed module or syllabus to follow. Think of it like having a personal guide. You will get help with all career-related issues you’re facing. 

Your mentor will suggest resources to study, assign you technical projects to complete, set up mock interview sessions, and even train you 1:1 on a skill. The nature of your sessions is hyper-personalised and will change from person to person based on their skill level and career goals .

We, at Preplaced, don't impose on a mentor’s preferred mentorship style and a mentee’s career requirements. Every person is different and has different needs.

This is what 1:1 personalised mentorship is all about. It’s the only path to true career success. Know more about how long-term mentorship works at Preplaced.

Anyone who wants to:

• Learn DevOps Engineering from scratch
• Switch to a tech job from a non-tech background
• Level up their DevOps Engineering skills for better job opportunities
• Practise technical interview questions with a pro
• Crack MAANG interviews
• Need help with job search and application
• Just have an expert opinion on their goals

In short, Preplaced DevOps Engineering mentorship is for anyone who needs the help of an expert in their career journey. No matter your goals, Preplaced mentors have you covered.

Whatever fits your goals will be the ideal duration for your DevOps Engineering mentorship. The number of weekly and monthly sessions and the total mentorship duration will be decided based on your career goals by you and your mentor. The overall duration of your 1:1 mentorship could be one month, three months, six months or more—your mentor won’t leave your side till you’ve accomplished your goals. 

Ideally, we recommend our mentees be consistent with their preparation journey for at least two to three months to get the most out of this mentorship experience. Discuss the details of your mentorship over a trial call with your mentor. Read this to know how to make the most of trial sessions.

Courses lack:

• Personalisation,
• Interaction and feedback, 
• practical exposure to skills, 
• and the ability to keep you accountable and motivated throughout.

1:1 mentorship works differently. With mentorship, you work with a skilled mentor already doing what you aim to do in your career. They know what it's like to be where you are today and will map out a detailed pathway for you to follow to succeed in your career. It cannot get more personalised than that.

They'll be there for you every step of the way. Be it learning DevOps Engineering skills, applying them practically, preparing for DevOps Engineering interviews, networking in the industry, or looking for jobs . They will help you through it all. All the while keeping you motivated and consistent and providing you with a wise yet friendly listening ear. Read this detailed guide on how 1:1 mentorship differs from online courses.

If you wish to receive help with interview preparation and job search, absolutely yes. With mentorship, you will not only learn and polish your DevOps Engineering and soft skills but also get complete interview guidance along with job search support.

Your mentor will conduct mock interviews, to best prepare you for the most challenging interview questions you will face in the real interviews.

You will also get insider secrets to resume building for your role and networking advice. If your mentor is impressed with your skills and potential, they’ll also be happy to refer and recommend you to their current organisation and professional network.

Mentorship is for everyone: freshers, pros, and even absolute beginners. So, if you need to learn DevOps Engineering from scratch, your mentor will help you with that. 

They'll tell you where and how to learn, what resources to choose, what platforms to practise on, and what your upskilling roadmap should look like.
